His title is the Devil, but he goes by a number of names Satan, Lucifer, Beliar, Beelzebul or Beelzebub.
He was big in 1970s pop culture (The Exorcist, The Devils) and continues to feature on screen today. A sixth season of the TV show Lucifer is in production and new film The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It is showing in cinemas.
Conservative Christianity has a long commitment to the idea of a personal devil. Our Pentecostal Prime Minister Scott Morrison believes the misuse of social media is the work of the Devil. Pope Francis, meanwhile, maintains Satan still exists.

On a tabletop of volcanic tuff, Orvieto
By Charles Durante
Orvieto has become synonymous with dry white wine and we are all familiar with the name from the labels that decorate wine bottles from the region. We had read up on the city and realised there was more than the justly famous wines to lure people to this Umbrian stronghold.
It was too late for coffee by the time we arrived, so we decided to sample one of the white wines in one of the many wine shops (enoteca) which dot the main street, the Corso Cavour. If I remember correctly, I think we sampled wines elaborated from the Grechette and Trebbiano grapes. Barbara is more of a connoisseur than I am and she assured me that the wines had a clean, crisp finish with just the right amount of complexity. I bowed to her superior knowledge and made note of her comment for future reference.
When LoveReading was asked to curate a selection of books for the London Mountain Film Festival 2021 we readily accepted the challenge! A chance to source some new, inspiring reads - and it gave us the welcome opportunity to work with specialist independent publishers and imprints.
The London Mountain Film Festival, now in its second year, is a celebration of adventure and the outdoors. Taking place again online, the festival is screening over 40 world-class adventure films, plus interviews with film-makers & authors, all over an exhilarating fortnight this May.
‘I’m excited, honoured, and grateful to all the filmmakers, authors, and athletes who have trusted us with their incredible work,’ says festival director Greg Hackett. ‘LMFF Virtual is an intense two-week online celebration of that wonderful space where the human spirit embraces the challenges of the natural world.’
Easter celebrates the Christian belief that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. And for centuries, this resurrection was seen as a guarantee that our own bodies would do the same.
