[Milton-L] Good Books on Satan

[Michael Bryson]

Neil Forsyth's work is essential (The Old Enemy and
The Satanic Epic). Of course, good old Empson has
some eloquence to contribute here as well
(specifically on Milton's Satan). Russell is quite
good. You might also try Pagels (The Origin of
Satan).

I'm sure the list will come up with many other
excellent suggestions. But that is where I would
start.

  Hello list-

  I’m looking for some good books on Satan, and
  would appreciate some recommendations.

  Years ago I read a couple by Jeffrey Burton
  Russell and found them quite interesting, and many
  of my friends believe him to be the go-to guy old
  the subject of Ol Scratch (I guess in one I
  didn’t read he deals with Milton’s Satan for
  several pages).

  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated,
  but my ‘free’ reading time is very limited
  these days because I have so much required reading
  to do for classes so I’m looking only for “the
  best”.

  Thanks all,

  Jonathan
