The Legend

The devil is another name for Satan, who opposes God, and is primarily mentioned in Abrahamic religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The devil is described as an evil spirit, a being that tempts and torments people. In Christianity, the devil is depicted as the evil spirit that rules the world, the tempter, and the father of lies, while conservative theologians who interpret the Bible literally see the devil as a spiritual entity. In contrast, liberal theologians sometimes view the concept of the devil as a shamanistic interpretation of mental illness.
