Satan's Study Bible is the most controversial book ever written. In the Holy Bible, God and his only Begotten Son, Jesus the Christ, have made their case against Satan. For two thousand years, the Devil has taken the blame for the Plague, witchcraft, the deaths of the young, war, famine, pestilence, Ad nauseam. He has taken it all with remarkable silence. Christians continue to slander and libel him with all the lies printed in the Bible and spoken from the pulpit. Now, after two millennia of silence, Satan, once the prosecutor in God's court (Job 1:6), offers his rebuttal in the case against Christ, through his most damnable council - Satan's Study Bible: The Gospel of Mark. We wish all devout Christians, lapsed Christians, and curious non-believers to approach Satan's Study Bible with an open mind and a soul in ready preparation for salvation in Jesus Christ through blasphemy! What you read in Satan's Study Bible will turn your stomach, offend your intellect, and wound your very soul. But only through a thorough understanding of the enemy of God's beliefs, can you shield yourself with a true understanding of God's Most Holy Scripture. A literate believer is a Christian armed with the Word of God. A well-versed Christian is the enemy of every charlatan in the cloth of the priesthood!

The earliest of the four Gospels, the book portrays Jesus as an enigmatic figure, struggling with enemies, his inner and external demons, and with his devoted but disconcerted disciples. Unlike other gospels, his parables are obscure, to be explained secretly to his followers. With an introduction by Nick Cave

"Arresting...brilliant...this book illuminates the angels with which we must wrestle to come to the truth of our bedeviling spritual problems." —The Boston Globe With magisterial learning and the elan of a born storyteller, Pagels turns Satan’s story into an audacious exploration of Christianity’s shadow side, in which the gospel of love gives way to irrational hatreds that continue to haunt Christians and non-Christians alike.

Is the Devil a living reality, or is he nothing more than a figment of the imagination? Is the word "Satan" merely a synonym for wickedness, or does it stand for a concrete entity? In cultured circles it has become the custom to return a negative answer to these questions, and to flatly deny the existence of the Tempter. Among such people it is regarded as a mark of intellectual superiority to repudiate the personality of the Devil. By many, Satan is now looked upon as a product of priestcraft, a relic of superstition, the myth of a bygone age. With others, Satan is simply an abstraction, a mere negation, the opposite of good. "All the Devil there is, is the devil within you," is the last word of "modern thought." The words which Goethe puts into the mouth of Mephistopholes"I am the Spirit of Negation"is accepted as a good workable definition of the Devil. He is regarded as a mere abstract principle of evil. As someone has quaintly put it, "They spell Devil without a 'd', as they spell God with two 'o's'. Good and evil is their scheme." Totally based on the scriptures. This book presents biblical answers to that subject.
