Biography ”,“ Law and religion in Choser England ”This publication is the first translation of the author’s works into Russian. The publication of the book with such an intriguing name caused - it could not be otherwise - a considerable controversy.

Naturally, there were critics, like the observer of the Gardian newspaper, Peter Konrad, who saw Kelly in a deep religious study, in his critical study and comparison of biblical and apocryphal texts, an attempt to rehabilitate the main “hero” of the book. Someone at the same time remembered the author of the proximity to the Order of the Jesuits in the years.

And others reproached him for the desire to talk about such complex things accessible as much as possible, turning to student youth. But we must agree with James Mori, who noted that the book is the result of many years of research by the author and, for all the inevitable compression of the presentation, can serve as a real reference book on one of the eternal topics of the history of religion and culture.

In this capacity, the book appears to the Russian reader. Abbreviations of the ABANCHOR Bible - a series of comments and monographs. New York: Scribners,; Repr.

A complete quote from synodal translation: “I, Jesus, sent my angel to testify to you in churches. I am the root and descendant of David, the star is bright and morning. " The first quote shows that Satan is the heavenly prosecutor of mankind before God, and from this position he, according to this prophecy, will be removed in the future. In the second quote, taken from the last page of the New Testament, Jesus calls himself a “light and morning star”, which can be translated into Latin as “Lucifer” “bearing light”, “luminous”; “Light-Bear” is one of the ancient names of the planet Venus, “Morning Star”, preceding the sunrise in the East.

In the Old Testament times, Lucifer was not associated with Satan, they did not think about him either as Satan, expelled from heaven before the creation of Adam and Eve, nor as Satan, who generally had anything to do with Adam and Eve. I would like to clarify, specifically clarify what is in the Bible about Satan and what is not said there. Thus, I want to emphasize that, like him, I intend to consider every “guise” of Satan in itself, as such, without the influence of later interpretations.

But if Miles uses a literary approach, studying the image of God, presented in each book of the Jewish Bible in their traditional order, then I strive to use rather chronological and historical approaches with a less wide scientific apparatus.
