Publisher's Synopsis
""The War of the Church Against the Devil"" by Louis Coulange is a comprehensive examination of the role of the Christian Church in combating the forces of evil throughout history. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including biblical texts, historical accounts, and contemporary scholarship, Coulange provides a detailed and insightful analysis of the ways in which the Church has fought against the devil and his minions, both in the spiritual realm and in the world of human affairs.The book begins with an overview of the Christian concept of the devil and the origins of the Church's struggle against him. Coulange then traces the history of this struggle from the early days of the Church through the Middle Ages and into the modern era, exploring the various strategies and tactics used by the Church to combat the devil and his followers.Along the way, Coulange examines key figures and events in the history of the Church's battle against evil, including the rise of monasticism, the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the witch hunts of the early modern period. He also explores the ways in which the Church's teachings on sin, salvation, and the afterlife have shaped its approach to the devil and his minions.Throughout the book, Coulange emphasizes the importance of the Church's ongoing struggle against evil, both as a spiritual imperative and as a practical necessity in a world beset by sin and temptation. He argues that the Church's efforts to combat the devil are not only a vital part of its mission to save souls, but also a crucial element in the broader struggle for human flourishing and social justice.Written in clear and accessible prose, ""The War of the Church Against the Devil"" is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, the role of religion in society, or the ongoing battle between good and evil.THIS 114 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Life of the Devil, by Louis Coulange.
