According to the TV show, which I watched when it premiered, the legend about the Devils Bible was that it was written by a monk in a single night. Compact with the devil. The story goes that such a feat was possible only because the monk had made a compact with the devil. The implication is that the devil himself wrote this bible, which is why his portrait adorns it.

In the name of Jesus. According to the Christian New Testament, Jesus gave his disciples the power to cast out evil spirits, which is why scholars believe the medieval exorcists commanded demons to leave an afflicted persons body in the name of Jesus Christ.
