Abstract

Over more than 1000 years, philosophers and theologians debated the nature of evilness in religions, first and foremost in Judaism and Christianity. Starting from the premise, God is, in Judaism, omnipresent and omniscient, it still remains unresolved the reason as to why he allowed one of his more loved angels to be corrupted. Ethimologicaly, the name Lucifer stems from Luzbel that means the light-bearer. Originally, Lucifer was appointed to protect the hill of God but one he revealed against God his name shifted to Satan (which means the adversary). The rivalry between Lucifer and God has been resolved in favor of the latter. Based on the contributions of M. Mauss, the present paper explores the existence and inception of devil enrooted in the Hebrew-Christian tradition.
