Publisher Description: James Kallas presents the real Satan by examining who Satan is in both Old and New Testaments. Many will want to scoff at the idea that Satan exists at all, precisely because their image of Satan is relegated to the ways in which he is depicted, particularly in the New Testament. There, Satan's presence caused people to be blind, deaf, lame, as well as to foam at the mouth, scream out obscenities, and roll in the fire. Others will take Satan's power too seriously by making too much of his power, as if Satan is even more powerful than Jesus Christ. James Kallas presents a balanced study of the ways in which Satan is manifest in such contemporary places and activities as drug and alcohol abuse, atheism, and in satanic worship. The Real Satan uniquely and seriously addresses Satan's presence and power, yet with even more seriousness this book points to the assurance that Jesus Christ is victorious over Satan and all evil powers. |
