In addition to Biblical content, we should also refer to the biblical apocrypha – those ancient writings that are not included in the traditional Old and New Testaments. There are some fun stories to read in the apocrypha, building on the traditional stories we know.
To your point, I wonder how much Satan plays a part in each of these classes of writings.
- Volundr 3y agoIs there a good collection and retelling of these stories somewhere? I'm aware some versions of the Bible have some apocrypha, but after reading the old+new testaments, I'm just not up for more of that kind of writing.
- ojo-rojo 3y agoThe book I have on my bookshelf is called "The Forgotten Books of Eden", subtitled "Lost Books of the Old Testament". This one is a 1980 re-printing of the 1927 book edited by Rutherford Platt.
