The Devil and His Advocates with Erik Butler
Translator and author Erik Butler discusses the evolution of the devil in history and literature, exploring his portrayal in biblical texts, the concept of Satan as a scapegoat in witch trials, and the devil's transformation from symbol of evil to figure of rebellion. The conversation also delves into the future of the devil's influence on conscience and the less glamorous interpretations in horror films and Freudian concepts.
