History of the Devil: His Origins, Greatness, and Decadence

This 1870 work by Albert Reville explores the history of the concept of the Devil, examining different ideas of the "Evil One", their development, history, differences, and similarities.

Albert Réville (1826 - 1906) was a prominent French Protestant theologian known for his liberal views, which were considered "extremist" at the time. He wrote extensively on the history of world religions and supported David Strauss's theory that the resurrection of Jesus Christ was in fact a vision caused by a nervous disorder and mass hysteria.

This fascinating volume will appeal to those interested in demonology and the Bible. It is also a valuable addition for collectors of vintage literature, as many such books are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are now republishing this volume in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition, complete with the original text and artwork.
