Sermons by the Devil is one of the most unusual pieces of American religious literature of the early twentieth century. Written by Reverend William Shuler Harris, the book adopts the voice of Satan himself, presenting a series of sermons that tempt readers toward vice, anxieties, greed, vanity, and moral compromise.
The book blends dramatic storytelling with moral instruction while reflecting the social anxieties of the Edwardian era. Topics range from alcohol, tobacco, and gambling to atheism, family life, prayer, and revivalism, making the volume both an artifact of American Protestant culture and a curiosity of occult and religious publishing.
