The progressive revelation of evil spirits in sacred scripture

Abstract

The present Undergraduate's dissertation seeks to develop a better understanding of the progressive revelation of evil spirits in Scripture. By means of commentaries, I researched different verses that referred to Satanic references or allusion. I utilized this research to comprehend and seek justification to what we find expressed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church on this matter. In the Old Testament, the revelation of the Devil increased from a limited reference to further development. This brings up the Fall of Angels. The New Testament affirms the existence of evil spirits is consistent and clearer. It is a constant battle between Christ and Satan. This battle is handed to the Church after Christ's Passion. At the end, the Catechism presents this doctrine very clearly and does not cause any suspicion.
