In the most general terms, what are some good history books on Satan would you recommend?
I would recommend a book – Philip C. Almond's The Devil: A New Biography (I. B. Tauris, 2014) – and a lecture series – A Cultural History of Satan, delivered by Philip A. Harland. Both give good accounts of the history of Satan. Each has a different emphasis.
This is aimed at the general reader. Its approach is broadly chronological, starting with the apocryphal First Book of Enoch in the middle of the 3rd century BCE and concluding in the 18th century with the Enlightenment. The main emphasis is on theology.
Subjects covered include the Devil in the Bible, the Church Fathers, medieval scholasticism, magic, witches, demonic possession, eschatology, and scepticism.
Gary K. Waite's review on H-Net describes the book as "valuable and highly readable".
This is a series of twenty-four lectures. It is also chronological but it begins at an earlier point than Almond with precursors to Satan such as the sea monsters Tiamat and Yam of Mesopotamian and Canaanite myth, and the Zoroastrian Angra Mainyu. As a cultural history it also considers literature such as Dante's Inferno and Milton's Paradise Lost.
Darren Oldridge. The Devil: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press, 2012).
Juanita Feros Ruys. Demons in the Middle Ages (Arc Humanities Press, 2017).
– Brief introductions. Both have valuable recommended reading sections.
Henry Ansgar Kelly. Satan: A Biography (Cambridge University Press, 2006).
– Intended for an academic audience. Provides a very detailed description of Satan's Biblical appearances.
Jeffrey Burton Russell. The Devil: Perceptions of Evil from Antiquity to Primitive Christianity (Cornell University Press, 1977).
Jeffrey Burton Russell. Satan: The Early Christian Tradition (Cornell University Press, 1981).
Jeffrey Burton Russell. Lucifer: The Devil in the Middle Ages (Cornell University Press, 1984).
Jeffrey Burton Russell. Mephistopheles: The Devil in the Modern World (Cornell University Press, 1986).
– The middle two books of this four volume history are probably the most useful.
