Satan and Apocalypse: And Other Essays in Political Theology (SUNY series in Theology and Continental Thought)
by Thomas J. AltizerFinalist for the 2017 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award in the Religion categoryIn this series of essays, Thomas J. J. Altizer explores the Christian epic as the site of modern revolutionary apocalyptic reenactments and renewals of the original apocalypse enacted by Jesus Christ and primitive Christianity. Beginning with the pivotal seventeenth-century figures Milton and Spinoza, Altizer analyzes the apocalyptic visions of key figures of modernity, including Blake, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Joyce, often juxtaposing them to surprising and illuminating effect. These revolutionary moments stand in opposition to what Altizer calls the pathological modern counterrevolution that dominates the world today, which is an effect of a new postmodernity and of a progressive dissolution of historical consciousness. Through his analysis of modern apocalyptic moments and thinkers, this book becomes an elegant and accessible guide to Altizer's own apocalyptic vision and his ultimate project of the total and comprehensive reconstruction of theology.
Satan and His Kingdom
by Dennis MccallumThis highly readable--and useful--examination of Satan and spiritual warfare was written out of necessity. In recent years, pastor and teacher Dennis McCallum found himself fielding more and more questions about Satan. He wanted to recommend a book on the subject, but those he found either reflected extreme beliefs, contained little biblical instruction, used fear tactics, or were poorly written. In Satan and His Kingdom, McCallum clarifies what is true and what is false about Satan, demons, and demonic control--both historically and today. He shows readers how to effectively battle the enemy individually and corporately, all the while keeping their focus on Christ, not Satan. A reliable resource for pastors, lay leaders, and any Christian wanting to know more about evil in the world.
Satan and the Problem of Evil: Constructing a Trinitarian Warfare Theodicy
by Gregory A. BoydIn this work Boyd defends his scripturally grounded trinitarian warfare theodicy (in God at War) with rigorous philosophical reflection and insights from human experience and scientific discovery. Critiquing the classical Calvinist solution to the problem of evil, he advocates an alternative understanding of the sovereignty of the trinitarian God and of the reality of Satan that sheds light on our fallen human condition.
Satan and the Scots: The Devil in Post-Reformation Scotland, c.1560-1700 (St Andrews Studies in Reformation History)
by Michelle D. BrockFrequent discussions of Satan from the pulpit, in the courtroom, in print, in self-writings, and on the streets rendered the Devil an immediate and assumed presence in early modern Scotland. For some, especially those engaged in political struggle, this produced a unifying effect by providing a proximate enemy for communities to rally around. For others, the Reformed Protestant emphasis on the relationship between sin and Satan caused them to suspect, much to their horror, that their own depraved hearts placed them in league with the Devil. Exploring what it meant to live in a world in which Satan’s presence was believed to be, and indeed, perceived to be, ubiquitous, this book recreates the role of the Devil in the mental worlds of the Scottish people from the Reformation through the early eighteenth century. In so doing it is both the first history of the Devil in Scotland and a case study of the profound ways that beliefs about evil can change lives and shape whole societies. Building upon recent scholarship on demonology and witchcraft, this study contributes to and advances this body of literature in three important ways. First, it moves beyond establishing what people believed about the Devil to explore what these beliefs actually did- how they shaped the piety, politics, lived experiences, and identities of Scots from across the social spectrum. Second, while many previous studies of the Devil remain confined to national borders, this project situates Scottish demonic belief within the confluence of British, Atlantic, and European religious thought. Third, this book engages with long-running debates about Protestantism and the ’disenchantment of the world’, suggesting that Reformed theology, through its dogged emphasis on human depravity, eroded any rigid divide between the supernatural evil of Satan and the natural wickedness of men and women. This erosion was borne out not only in pages of treatises and sermons, but in the lives of Scots of all sorts. Ultimately, this study suggests that post-Reformation beliefs about the Devil profoundly influenced the experiences and identities of the Scottish people through the creation of a shared cultural conversation about evil and human nature.
Satan is Alive and Well On Planet Earth
by Hal Lindsey Carole C. CarlsonNo one thinks much about the Devil anymore. In fact, words like witchcraft and black magic have a strangely medieval ring to our ears. Many people even think of Satan as somehow comic -- and therefore harmless. Yet amidst the tragedy and corruption of our own century, it is ironic that many people doubt whether an active, evil force really exists. But Satan is not dead, says author Hal Lindsey; he has simply adopted a more modern style. Spiritualism, astrology, "new age" religion -- all of these and more are signs of the creeping influence of the Father of Lies in our time. In this book, Hal Lindsey, well-known speaker and author of the best-selling Late Great Planet Earth, outlines a battle plan for overcoming this very real and insidious enemy. The times may change, but the conflict is as old as the Garden of Eden. Whatever happened to old What's-his-name?
Satan's Big Fat Lie: Exposing the Enemy's Greatest Weapon Being Unleashed Today
by Steve FossHave you ever wondered what Satan&’s biggest weapon against God&’s people is? This book is going to help me understand shame as the root spirit that the enemy has unleased to control, dominate, manipulate, and demoralize God&’s people. No longer will I be bound to the enemy&’s tactics as I begin to set my eyes on the things that Jesus cares most deeply about. During one of his most intense spiritual battles, international evangelist Steve Foss received a series of prophetic dreams and visions that exposed the key weapon the enemy is using against God&’s people—shame. Believers are ashamed of past mistakes. Churches are being shamed for standing for the gospel. Brother is turning against brother as the culture shames those who don&’t walk in lockstep with their agenda. Cancel culture itself is a way of shaming people into submission to the status quo. Shame is transforming our culture into a godless, sin-celebrating society. Shame was the final attack upon Jesus when He was on the cross, and it was designed to keep Him from fulfilling His destiny. But God has given His people a more powerful weapon to overcome the enemy&’s attacks. We just have to learn how to use it. In Satan&’s Big Fat Lie, Foss exposes Satan&’s great end-time strategy and how Christians can war against it. Shame is that great demon power the enemy has unleashed to control, dominate, manipulate, and demoralize God&’s people. But discovering what Jesus is focused on will empower us to overcome and walk in perfect peace in the midst of the chaos of this world.

Satanism and Demonology
by Lionel And FanthorpeSatanism has been known around the world by many names over the centuries and has involved the shadowy deities of ancient pagan religions. During Christian times, Satanist sorcerers frequently tried to invoke the Devil to make their black magic work. In Satanism and Demonology, the great central questions behind the legends are explored: does Satan, or Lucifer, really exist, and if he does, what dark, anomalous powers does he wield? Authors Lionel and Patricia Fanthorpe begin with an examination of what Satanism is, then explore its earliest, prehistoric history. They track Satanism from the Middle East and ancient Egypt to the European witches and sorcerers of medieval times, and then on through the Renaissance to our present day. The bizarre, uninhibited, satanic rituals, liturgies, and sexual practices are all examined in detail.

by Bill RitchieYou Want It? You Got It! Seeking satisfaction? Perhaps a little more money, a new car, a different job, less weight, or a place at the beach?

It's just completely contrary to everything you hear. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness," Jesus says, "for they shall be satisfied." But what about that new car, house, computer, outfit, girlfriend, vacation? Inside the pages of this book, you will find the answer.

Greg Laurie Senior pastor, Harvest Christian Fellowship "Bill Ritchie's book offers biblical proof that satisfaction in life is attainable through an easily understood approach. Thanks, Bill. " Del Harris Assistant coach, Dallas Mavericks. "I've seen too many Christians who don't know what it means to live the abundant, satisfying life that Jesus promised us. But Bill Ritchie does. I'm thrilled that Christians will use his book to draw near to God's heart and develop God's character in their lives. " Luis Palau Evangelist, broadcaster, and author of High Definition Life "Bill Ritchie brings us perhaps the greatest truth of our time. Satisfaction is from God-and it's guaranteed.

" Randy Alcorn Bestselling author of The Treasure Principle and Heaven Story Behind the Book "When studying godly character I realized two things. First, I knew more about my cholesterol than I did my character. What are the qualities of godly character, and how am I developing them in my life? Second, although our nation is putting millions of dollars into character education in schools, we aren't seeing positive results. How can that be changed?
