From a #1 New York Times–bestselling author: Lucifer and the Archangel Michael debate the fate of humanity in the final nights before the apocalypse.
Upon the end of days, Lucifer, the Fallen One, that Infernal of Infernals and Murderer of Hope, wonders if his Father will bother to raise another race after Armageddon. After all, he’ll only have to tempt them—again—to certain death. Their choice, not his. On God’s behalf, Archangel Michael responds. So begins a series of letters between two brothers, at once cordial and combative, about their purpose, their fears, their familial estrangement, and their Father’s great folly: the human race.
Equally defensive, unrepentant, objective, and, for a time, amused, they challenge each other on science and spirituality, physical love and emotional love, the crucifixion and the crimes committed by man. They deliberate the virtues of empathy and vengeance, redemption and punishment, and the laws of the Bible versus its lies. Their civil discourse soon becomes a heated trial of wills.
Based on a close reading of the Old and New Testaments, Dialogues with the Devil was conceived by author Taylor Caldwell “to give Lucifer his day in court.” A dramatic and insightful examination of family, morality, and faith, it is a singular work of fiction from “a wonderful storyteller” and one of twentieth-century America’s most popular and prolific authors (A. Scott Berg, National Book Award–winning author of Maxwell Perkins: Editor of Genius).
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Taylor Caldwell including rare images from the author’s estate.

Quotes

    He had never been here before, for it was a mighty planet newly born, innocent of all but the gentlest life in the form of beast and creature and bird. Its beauty delighted him, for its airs were softly rose and gilt, its sky of pellucid mauve—for Tau Ceti was as a great lavender prism turning rapidly on its axis—its thick soft grass gleaming with a magenta tinge, its peaks white and gilded or brilliant blue, its hills folded as if in azure velvet, its rivers and seas purely silver with lilac crests, its lakes violet. The climate was sweet, fragrant with the scents of fruits, plumed amethystine trees, fields of flowers as yet unnamed, and dewy turf, and tumultuous with the joyous songs of gorgeously colored birds.

    He was with them, but not of them, and Michael remembered that it was always so, even in Heaven. He loved them, but it was with a condescending love, for he was greater than all and the oldest, and in many ways he possessed more wisdom

    Only the strong can protect the weak. Only the noble of heart can inspire other men to nobility, to sacrifice, to self-discipline, to love. Only a Godly man can know God
