 Evangelicals agree with the Protestant orthodox of theology that Satan is a real, created being given entirely over to evil and that evil is whatever opposes God or is not willed by God.Evangelicals emphasize the power and involvement of Satan in history in varying degrees; some virtually ignore Satan and others revel in speculation about spiritual warfare against that personal power of darkness.The Thirty-Nine Articles makes one mention, "...whereby the Devil doth thrust them..."

Some Christian groups and individuals view the Devil in Christianity figuratively.
