Book Description
"Simultaneously controversial and entertaining, [this book] delivers a new perspective of religious doctrine from the point of view of God's fallen angel, Satan. Aided by his unwitting accomplice, Satan examines the tenants of the major organized religions, giving first a generic summary of their respective beliefs and then following up with his own very different slant. To take care of the credibility problem, he even footnotes his sources for skeptics. The result is a comprehensive analysis that covers not only religion, but history, theology, science, and philosophy. Satan's observations challenge you to think critically about your religiously held assumptions as well as the beliefs of other organized religions."--Cover.

Maximilian Hell (1720–92) and the Ends of Jesuit Science in Enlightenment Europe
Author: Per Pippin Aspaas
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004416838
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 489
Book Description
The Viennese Jesuit court astronomer Maximilian Hell was a key figure in the eighteenth-century circulation of knowledge. He was already famous by the time of his celebrated 1769 expedition for the observation of the transit of Venus in northern Scandinavia. However, the 1773 suppression of his order forced Hell to develop ingenious strategies of accommodation to changing international and domestic circumstances. Through a study of his career in local, regional, imperial, and global contexts, this book sheds new light on the complex relationship between the Enlightenment, Catholicism, administrative and academic reform in the Habsburg monarchy, and the practices and ends of cultivating science in the Republic of Letters around the end of the first era of the Society of Jesus.

The Parallax from Hell
Author: Douglas L. Laubach
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 9781469798332
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Is there no sympathy for the Devil? Misunderstood and vilified by the worlds major religions, Satan has decided to strike back at his accusers. In his own words, Satan makes the case that he is only carrying out Gods commands and that he is unjustly blamed for the woes of the world. Simultaneously controversial and entertaining, The Parallax from Hell delivers a new perspective of religious doctrine from the point of view of Gods fallen angel, Satan. Aided by his unwitting accomplice, Satan examines the tenants of the major organized religions, giving first a generic summary of their respective beliefs and then following up with his own very different slant. To take care of the credibility problem, he even footnotes his sources for skeptics. Tongue in cheek at times, Satan makes his case and then enlists his minions in Hell to contribute short essays and commentary. The result is a comprehensive analysis that covers not only religion, but history, theology, science, and philosophy. Wry and engaging, Satans observations challenge you to think critically about your religiously held assumptions as well as the beliefs of other organized religions. Definitely not your ordinary theological critique, The Parallax from Hell seeks to serve as an unorthodox vehicle for opening hearts and minds.
