Summary "So what is evil? Does it exist? Veteran journalist William Hart tries to drag evil out of the darkness and hold it up to the light. In doing so, he has written an account of five thousand years of philosophy, theology, and human history as these disciplines reflect and refine our notion of evil."--Jacket.
