In this three-volume set, international scholars from across a
broad spectrum of scholarly fields examine the concept of evil
throughout history and world cultures from religious, scientific,
psychological, and political perspectives. The manifestation of
evil has provided a convenient theme for popular culture
entertainment, ranging from the classic film The Exorcist, to
almost all of Stephen King's horror novels, to video games such as
Resident Evil. Unfortunately, dealing with-and attempting to
overcome-the forces of evil is a pervasive problem in the real
world as well. Explaining Evil addresses incidents of evil from
ancient times to modern day around the globe. Concepts of evil
within the big three religions-Christianity, Judaism, and Islam-are
examined, as well as in Chinese philosophy and Native American
beliefs. The political or national expressions of evil are
explored, such as the "axis of evil" that culminated in World War
II. These volumes identify the causes and effects of evil, and
suggest possible remedies to humanity's inescapable flaw. Contains
original contributions from 75 distinguished scholars from various
religious and cultural backgrounds, including psychologists,
academic and clinical sociologists, historians, philosophers,
theologians, and professors of political science, ethics, and law
