Jewish view or see
Devil for the devil in other religions, the term devil, and the concept influenced by Christianity in general.In mainstream
Christianity, the
Devil is named
Satan, sometimes
Lucifer. He is a
fallen angel who rebelled against
God, and is now roaming the Earth. He is often identified as the serpent in the
Garden of Eden, whose persuasions led to
original sin and the need for
Jesus Christ's redemption. He is also identified as the Accuser of
Job, the tempter of the
Gospels, and the
dragon in the
Book of Revelation. Traditionally, Christians have understood the Devil to be the author of lies and promoter of
evil. Many other Christians (especially
liberal Protestant denominations) however, view the devil metaphorically. Much of the popular history of the Devil is not biblical; instead, it is a post-medieval Christian reading of the scriptures influenced by medieval and pre-medieval Christian popular mythology.
