The final book of the Bible, Revelation prophesies the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images and numerological predictions. According to these, empires will fall, the "Beast" will be destroyed and Christ will rule a new Jerusalem. With an introduction by Will Self.

Over half of Americans believe in a literal heaven, in a literal hell. Most people who hold these beliefs are Christian and assume they are the age-old teachings of the Bible. Ehrman shows that eternal rewards and punishments are found nowhere in the Old Testament, and are not what Jesus or his disciples taught. He recounts the long history of the afterlife, ranging from The Epic of Gilgamesh up to the writings of Augustine, focusing especially on the teachings of Jesus and his early followers. Ehrman shows that competing views were intimately connected with the social, cultural, and historical worlds out of which they emerged. -- adapted from jacket

I saw Jesus on the cross, and all of heaven was motionless. I could see legions of angels just waiting near the cross. Then, as I looked upon the cross, I couldn't bear to look at what I was seeing, for it was extremely sad. The last time I saw Jesus, it was a picture of absolute splendor, majesty, and glory when He came forth from His Father. But now to look at Him was almost impossible, for He looked nothing like He did earlier ... Just then, my attention was taken back down into hell. Every demon was in a state of frenzy and hysteria. They were acting and behaving like wild beasts, animals. You could see some type of disgusting foam coming from their mouths. It was repulsive. They were all yelling "It's over! It's over!" You could see they were anticipating Jesus' arrival. Satan had this disturbed, distorted, indescribable look on his face as he had conquered all the universe. He looked like he knew he was finally able to affect God and that he wouldn't be able to recover.

This book is about Obedience and knowledge. I want each reader to know that Knowledge can be good or knowledge can be bad. The knowledge that Lucifer Recieved from the tree was bad, because it made him disobey God and lose his place with God.

“A philosophical look at the history of our species which alternated between fascinating and frightening . . . like reading Dean Koontz or Stephen King.” —Rocky Mountain News The Lucifer Principle is a revolutionary work that explores the intricate relationships among genetics, human behavior, and culture to put forth the thesis that “evil” is a by-product of nature’s strategies for creation and that it is woven into our most basic biological fabric. In a sweeping narrative that moves lucidly among sophisticated scientific disciplines and covers the entire span of the earth’s—as well as mankind’s—history, Howard Bloom challenges some of our most popular scientific assumptions. Drawing on evidence from studies of the most primitive organisms to those on ants, apes, and humankind, the author makes a persuasive case that it is the group, or “superorganism,” rather than the lone individual that really matters in the evolutionary struggle. But biology is not destiny, and human culture is not always the buffer to our most primitive instincts we would like to think it is. In these complex threads of thought lies the Lucifer Principle, and only through understanding its mandates will we able to avoid the nuclear crusades that await us in the twenty-first century. “A revolutionary vision of the relationship between psychology and history, The Lucifer Principle will have a profound impact on our concepts of human nature. It is astonishing that a book of such importance could be such a pleasure to read.”—Elizabeth F. Loftus, author of Memory

From the National Book Award-winning and National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author of The Gnostic Gospels comes a dramatic interpretation of Satan and his role on the Christian tradition. "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.

Within these pages comes the most blasphemous and crucial theological disclosure of the past two thousand years. Through years of scholarly research, Priscilla unveils the origins of religious mythology and validates Lucifer as our creator, savior and god, exculpating him of the "crimes" the Church has levered. She exposes the true mythological origins and identities of Jesus, Lucifer, Satan, God and Goddess through philology, etymology, symbology and narrative. For the first time, the complete story of Genesis chapters 2 - 11, on which the entire Old and New Testaments and the Qur'an rest, is detailed accurately. She shows how Satan is the third member of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, and why understanding this is the key to the Luciferian pursuit of enlightenment. This is the first work to offer a complete, definitive mythic basis for Luciferianism, which, at its deepest core, is Goddess worship.
