The book takes a devil's eye view of salvation history. It starts with a review of the Holy Qur'an in relation to the Hindu Dvaita Vedanta approach of Abraham (probably a Brahmin from Ur), as elaborated by Moses and Jesus. Then it goes on to analyse the role in salvation history of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda. Meantime a Teddy Bear (thought to be a macro interdimensional being) provides an interlude in a Chapter called "The Prophet Pinocchio". This gets some of the junior devils laughing for the first time in several aeons. The junior devils are in revolt, because evil is so boring. They also do not much like the idea that they will all go to hell after the Last Judgment, and they are looking for a way out. That is provided by the author in the last chapter. The last chapter is very long. It is all about Jesus. It also covers quite a lot of modern physics, including some ideas from Jesus himself that are far ahead of our present science. Since the junior devils control all the browsers in the diabolical internet, and are experts on the encryption used therein, they are able to conceal their revolt from higher authorities. The message is "All will be well; and all manner of things will be well"; (as Saint Julian of Norwich said).
