Demonology and Devil Lore is a work on demonology which analyzes how different cultures and religions have interpreted demons and devil along history. The author's survey of myths, folktales, superstitions and rituals across cultures is very methodical. Each topic is thoroughly researched and it is explained how a certain theme is viewed in demonic myths throughout the world. The book is a kind of a treatise on the historical development of the idea of Evil.
An in depth look at demonology throughout western history that includes a good deal of Biblical and Middle Eastern references and mythology. Many works from ancient Babylon, Greek tragedies and the epic play Faust are used to form together a tangible history of demons in the present day. Although many conclusions can logically be found to be erroneous, the author makes a good attempt to bring together different lines of thought into one cohesive argument. Now in larger print!
