Abstract

This article seeks to address the problem regarding the figure of the devil, that is, if when referring to him we are simply talking about a myth or if we are really referring to a spiritual being with real existence. Our tour begins in Sacred Scripture, passing through the Conciliar Magisterium to finally present the main theological current that denies the existence of the devil.
