Tony:
A good source to start with, as so often, is the Anchor Bible Dictionary, 
where the article on SATAN begins:
>>SATAN. The purpose of this article is to provide a summary of the 
occurrences and an objective analysis of the various uses of the term 
Satanthroughout the Bible, as well as within deuterocanonical, 
pseudepigraphical, and early rabbinic literature.<<
