Satan

With the advent of the Hebrew Bible, Satan became a figure large in the popular mind. He has waged the only war in Heaven and lost, leading to an exile in Hell, one that is by literary turns, frozen and aflame. Within that Hell, he leads legions of demons, chews the souls of the truly evil, and makes plans to take the souls of the living. He is alternately ferociously clever and comically gullible. He mastered rhetoric and used it to steal souls, start wars and he generally acts against the will of God, yet some say that he is part of God's plan. The essays in this volume discuss some of Satan's most memorable roles, explaining why Satan is one of the most popular figures in movies, music, art, and literature Book jacket.Bloom, Harold is the author of 'Satan', published 2005 under ISBN 9780791081778 and ISBN 079108177X.
