Imagine an inhabitant of the planet Mars visiting the Earth and trying to find out what kind of beings live here. Imagine this Martian leafing through the Bible, the main source of the ideologies of the Earthlings. Imagine he came across the descriptions of our 'God' ordering genocides, threatening his followers that they will be compelled to eat their own children, and foretelling that one day in the future He will destroy the Earth and most of its inhabitants. These are just a few of the many horrors mentioned in the Bible.
What would this Martian think of such a 'God?' And what would he think of us who chose to worship such a 'God' and to follow His commands? The Martian would very likely be astonished and frightened. And perhaps, if he is intelligent enough, he would, also, conclude that there is a connection to be found between the doctrine of this evil 'God' and the disasters and sufferings which seem to be an inevitable part of the human experience.
In The Bible: The Devil's Book the author sets out to prove that this analysis is absolutely correct. Such a cause-and-effect does exist, and further brings into question the inevitability of this undesirable condition.
The Bible: The Devil's Book contains 224 pages; it is thoroughly researched and well documented, with 294 quotations from classical, medieval, biblical and other sources, 425 footnotes and a 186 title bibliography in four languages.
