The first encyclopedia on contemporary Satanism, entries cover popular music and films, contemporary organized Satanic groups, ritual abuse cases, and practices and beliefs. This volume takes a cross-cultural approach to surveying the role of demons, and includes entries on fallen angels, devils, and other literary and theological residents of Hell.
James R. Lewis is a professional writer and academic specializing in new religions and the New Age.
"Reading Lewis' Satanism Today brings home the fascination with Satanic imagery in human culture, particularly Western culture, and points out its diversity and pervasiveness. Public libraries with an interest in the occult will find it a popular and useful addition to their reference collections ... academic libraries may opt for adding it to either reference or circulation." - Against the Grain
