About this audiobook
“The history of Satan, prince of the demonic world, is the story of one of the weirdest of man’s illusions,” writes McCabe. In this text, McCabe treats the devil essentially as a creature of folklore, originating in prehistoric times. He demonstrates how the influence of belief in the devil has dwindled dramatically with the spread of scientific investigation and rationality.
This pamphlet, which comes from the Little Blue Book series published by E. Haldeman Julius, is a typical example of McCabe’s incisive examination of history and his caustic wit.
Joseph McCabe (1867–1956) was a Catholic priest and scholar who abandoned his faith in the 1890s and became one of the most active advocates of secularism and rationality in the early twentieth century. He wrote hundreds of books and pamphlets on a wide range of subjects and published translations of dozens of texts.View all by Joseph McCabe
