Publisher's Synopsis
The Life of the Devil and Religious Inventions and Frauds is a book written by Louis Coulange that delves into the history of religious beliefs and practices, and the ways in which they have been manipulated and exploited throughout history. The book explores the concept of the devil and its evolution in different cultures and religions, as well as the role of religious leaders and institutions in creating and perpetuating myths and falsehoods. Coulange examines various religious inventions and frauds, such as the creation of relics, the sale of indulgences, and the use of miracles to gain power and influence. He also discusses the impact of these practices on society and the ways in which they have shaped our understanding of religion and spirituality. The book is a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of the darker side of religious history, and offers insights into the ways in which we can better understand and navigate the complex world of faith and belief.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
