John Damascene: "The wickedness of the evil one"

“SINCE the wickedness of the evil one has prevailed so mightily against man’s nature as even to drive some into denying the existence of God … the disciples of the Lord and His apostles, enlightened by the Holy Spirit and working wonders in His power and grace, took them captive in the net of miracles and drew them up out of the depths of ignorance to the light of the knowledge of God.”

~St. John of Damascus:  Exposition of the Orthodox Faith, 1, 3.
