Contrubuting a 'theological interpretation' Bordjadze examines an enigmatic text that has been used to develop a 'satanology.' After studying the original text, using text-, form-, historical-, and literary-critical tools, he moves to interpretational history, with important patristic, Reformation, and contemporary interpreters. For a popular, contemporary audience, Bordjadze also views that passage through the lens of evil presented by J. R. R. Tolkien. This work provides a multi-perspectival understanding of an often-misused text.
