Integrating Evil: A Celtic Myth And A Christian Legend is a book by Henry Robert Zimmer that explores the intersection of two seemingly disparate belief systems. The book delves into the ancient Celtic myth of the Fomorians - a race of monstrous beings who were seen as evil by the Celts - and the Christian legend of Satan - the ultimate embodiment of evil in the Christian tradition. Zimmer argues that these two traditions are not as incompatible as they may seem at first glance, and that there are important similarities and overlaps between the two. He examines how the Fomorians and Satan are both seen as outsiders and enemies of the established order, and how they represent a challenge to the dominant power structures of their respective belief systems. The book also looks at how these two concepts of evil have been portrayed in literature and art throughout history, from ancient Celtic myths to modern depictions of the devil in popular culture. Zimmer draws on a wide range of sources, including mythology, theology, philosophy, and literature, to present a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of the nature of evil and its role in human culture. Overall, Integrating Evil: A Celtic Myth And A Christian Legend is a fascinating and insightful book that offers a fresh perspective on two important cultural traditions, and the ways in which they have shaped our understanding of good and evil.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
