Satan in the Bible, God's Minister of Justice

The book reexamines the historical and biblical portrayal of Satan, arguing that the traditional view of him as merely God's adversary emerged post-biblically. Instead, it presents Satan as a complex figure within the heavenly hierarchy, tasked with monitoring humanity and exposing sin, particularly among the virtuous. By highlighting his roles as investigator, tempter, and even rehabilitator, the author suggests that understanding Satan's true nature can correct the dualistic interpretation of Christianity that has dominated religious thought.
