Summary "Is the Devil a Myth?" by C. F. Wimberly is a theological treatise written in the early 20th century. The work explores the concept of evil, specifically examining whether the figure of the Devil or Satan is merely a myth or a real entity in human spiritual discourse. Wimberly presents a compelling case to address the pervasive belief in the existence of evil as a personal force rather than an abstract concept, emphasizing its implications on faith and morality. At the start of the book, the author sets the framework by discussing the contemporary discrediting of traditional religious beliefs and the escalation of crime and moral decay in society. He highlights the challenges posed by modernity, including a belief in the innate goodness of humanity that overlooks the existence of evil as a tangible force. The opening chapters argue that the roots of evil are inadequately explained by human depravity alone, suggesting instead that a malevolent personality, specifically the Devil, plays a significant role in human corruption and moral failure. Through various examples, Wimberly aims to illuminate the various manifestations of evil and its relentless grip on humanity, making a strong case for the need to acknowledge its reality.
