I enjoy the history and study of scripture (not 'the bible' as it is...in general, as it has been 'played' by false doctrine/translations) but back to the Creator's orig intent - incl Heb/Aramaic/Greek word studies,

"For no prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit."
II Peter 1:21

So...I am reading
your book in light of God's Word, God's Will on the topic

Interesting to note...Re: the study of ponerology. Did you know in scripture -the NT greek
word for 'evil' (to the end of evil intent) ...is the word 'poneros'.
(in the OT it is the word 'ra' - god of 'ra', etc...)

I consider that ALL WORLDLY 'study' has it's roots in 'sola scriptura'
and for all 'their' indepth study of evil, God's Word explains it best...
Evil begins with deception - the taking of God's 'Good' and twisting it for the devils intent, false 'pretty' the pkg on the outside...its affecting power comes from consenting to it
