Join Morbid Anatomy Founder and Creative Director Joanna Ebenstein to discuss The Devil: Perceptions of Evil from Antiquity to Primitive Christianity. This book, by religious studies professor Jeffrey Burton Russell, traces the history of the concept of evil from its beginnings in ancient times to the period of the New Testament. Drawing upon a vast number of sources and addressing the problem of evil over a broad span of time and in a number of diverse cultures, Russell probes the roots of the idea of evil, traces the development of the idea in the Ancient Near East, and examines the concept of the Devil as it was formed in late Judaism and early Christianity.
