About This Book

Teksti tarjoaa historiallisen katsauksen pirun ja pahan henkien syntyyn ja toimintaan, selittäen miten kuolleiden sielujen hoito, luonnonilmiöiden tulkinta ja suojelushenkien palvonta muovasivat käsitykset sielusta, jumalasta ja pirusta. Se seuraa ajatuksen kehitystä suku- ja kansatason henkiuskoista suurten jumaluuksien ja dualismin muodostumiseen, vertailee eri kulttuurien hahmottelua pahoista olennoista sekä osoittaa paikallisten olojen vaikutuksen pirun ulkoasun ja tehtävien kuvailuun. Lisäksi käsitellään pakanuuden jäänteitä, kansanuskonnollisia rituaaleja ja kirkollisia kertomuksia pirun ilmenemisistä.
