The Jewish-Christian Roots of God and Satan in LaVay's Satanic Bible

Satan introduced to the world by LaVay is not an evil creature but the goddess of love and a light-giving thing. According to LaVay, Lucifer is a good and powerful creature with God-like attributes, which has two aspects- positive and negative- simultaneously. Although the notion that there is a creature with transcendent attributes and at the same time in the deepest level of debasement seems to be somehow strange, it is does not seem so for those who are familiar with Jewish and Christian theology. Using an analytical-descriptive method, the present paper seeks to delve into the foundations of the doctrines of Torah and Bible in order to find a trace of such creature, which is hidden in the different layers of ancient Jewish and Christian texts.
