About this audiobook
THIS WORLD OF OURS is a world of opposites. There is light and shade, there is heat and cold, there is good and evil, there is God and the Devil. This massive work presents a history of evil and its various personifications throughout the centuries. The research which author conducted is of commendable depth and breadth, and the author recasts an anthropomorphic demon as the ultimate symbol of the potential for evil within humans themselves. This is a history book of some repute, and recommended for those who have an interest in the principles of good and evil as well as their etiologies.
