“The world was portrayed as an arena in which God and the Devil constantly contended for the individual’s soul. Luther himself was convinced that the Devil was incessantly active. In theory, the Devil was supposed to be subject to God and to act only by his permission. This was itself problematic: did God employ the Devil, as the modern state employs special forces, to do the inadmissible dirty work?”
–Ritchie Robertson, from “The Enlightenment: The Pursuit of Happiness, 1680-1790” (2021).
