Overview

Christian tradition characterizes Satan as the enemy of God, a fallen angel who rebels against his maker, tempts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and brings sin into the world. In this biography of the feared religious figure, scholar Henry Ansgar Kelly seeks to show that this portrayal of Satan was actually invented and dispensed by the early founders of the Christian church. Revealing the original story of Satan as described in the New Testament, in which Satan was first sent to govern and test human beings, this analysis traces the path of Satan from treasonous angel to the devil he is known as today. La tradicion cristiana caracteriza a Satanas como el enemigo del Altisimo, un angel caido que se rebela contra su creador, tienta a Adan y a Eva en el Jardin del Eden y trae el pecado al mundo. En esta biografia de la temida figura religiosa, el academico Henry Ansgar Kelly quiere mostrar que esa estampa realmente fue inventada y dispensada por los primeros fundadores de la iglesia cristiana. Revelando la historia original de Satanas que se describe en el Nuevo Testamento, en la cual Satanas fue enviado para gobernar y poner a prueba a los seres humanos, este analisis traza el camino de Satanas desde un angel traidor hasta el diablo como el cual se conoce hoy.
