In Matthew 12.22-37, Jesus is accused of working his miracles and casting out demons by using dark arts, black magic, in particular by Beelzebub, the prince of demons.
The shock of finding the Son of God vilified as being in league with Satan, the best man who ever lived being accused of being evil, should perhaps prepare us to meet the recent upsurge of anti-Christian rhetoric in our own time.
Among some of the best known books that portray Christianity as evil are: The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins; God is not Great by Christopher Hitchins; Against all gods by A.C. Grayling; and Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast by Lewis Wolpert.
