2019brossura Come ha avuto origine la scelta del male da parte degli angeli caduti? E in che modo si è concretizzata quest'ultima? Il libro descrive il racconto di cosa determinò la caduta di coloro che un tempo erano angeli e ora sono noti come i demòni. Si affrontano con serietà scientifica e teologica tutte le tesi sui miti del peccato angelico (peccato sessuale-nascita dei giganti, peccato di orgoglio, peccato di invidia, ect) introducendo così il lettore, allo studio della demonologia teologica. Prefazione di Rosario Messina.
1963344p. 8vo. Original stiff paper wraps. "An authentic historical narrative, it takes its dialogue from the actual trial records but applies modern psychiatric knowledge to the witchcraft hysteria that swept Salem Village in 1692. It was a tragedy of individuals, which underlined as sharply as has any event in history the power of self-righteousness, fantasy, and fear to turn decent people into fana tical persecutors." OCC 8

2021La storia del “Diavolo” tra documenti, racconti e credenze- Arturo Graf (Atene, 1848 – Torino, 1913) compose Il Diavolo nel 1889 definendo la sua fatica come un “libro popolare, che si potesse leggere senza fatica, ma forse non senza qualche gusto, da chiunque non faccia professione d’erudito”, intendendo con tale termine un pubblico di lettori sì colti ma che non fossero storici, eruditi di professione. Attraverso le parole e gli scritti dei Padri della Chiesa, ma anche quelle delle cronache, dei racconti, dei proverbi e delle credenze popolari, l’autore compone un libro sempre denso ed avvincente. Un discorso sempre elegante e ricercato, ma mai complicato, sulla storia del e sul demonio, e sull’eterno dualismo tra bene e male. Autori: Arturo Graf.
