‘The Autobiography of Satan’ is a book by John Relly Beard, first published in 1872, written from the perspective of Satan as a conversational autobiography. In a striking blend of satire, theology, and moral philosophy, Beard — an English Unitarian minister and educator — reimagines the devil not as a cosmic evil but as a personification of humanity’s darker impulses. Through vivid narratives and reflections on biblical events, philosophy, witchcraft, astrology, and priesthood, the work challenges traditional religious doctrines and invites readers to reconsider concepts of good, evil, and moral responsibility.
