Is the Devil a Myth‪?‬

“Fifty thousand go to bed hungry every night in New York City,” a professor declares—and C. F. Wimberly asks whether human failings alone can account for such a world.

Writing in the early twentieth century, Wimberly opens with a daily paper’s roll call of war, hunger, bribery and murder. Against a backdrop of public crime and private cruelty, he tests the familiar explanations of free will and human depravity—and finds them too small for the evil he sees. His argument turns toward a darker possibility: that a personal, unseen force works upon humanity, fanning its worst impulses into horrors that seem almost inhuman. If evil reaches beyond the weakness of the human heart, what—and who—is behind it?
