Is the Devil a Myth? (Illustrated Edition‪)‬

Is the Devil a literal being — or a powerful idea shaped by human fear and moral struggle?

In this provocative early twentieth-century study, C. F. Wimberly examines how the image of the Devil emerged from ancient belief systems, theological debates, and social anxieties. Rather than arguing from dogma, he traces the evolution of evil as a concept — asking whether humanity created the Devil to explain suffering, temptation, and guilt.

Blending religious history with cultural analysis, this book explores how symbols become realities in the human imagination and how moral responsibility may be shifted onto unseen forces. Wimberly’s writing reflects a period when faith and reason were learning to coexist uneasily, and when inherited ideas were being reconsidered with intellectual honesty.

This illustrated edition presents the work in a modern, accessible format, enhanced with original artwork and newly written editorial material. It is ideal for readers interested in religious studies, philosophy, psychology of belief, and the history of ideas.
