In this second part of our series on Satan, discover how Satan evolved from the simple angelic Adversary of Judaism into the Christian model of ultimate Evil. Explore how our iconic image of the Devil (complete with cloven hooves and horns) was stolen by the early church from a far more ancient Greek god in order to flesh out the Devil. Discover the heated politics that occurred between the early church and pagan philosophers that became influential in shaping the Western image of the Lord of Hell: Lucifer.
