Gregory Boyd seeks to defend his scripturally grounded trinitarian warfare theod-icy with rigorous philosophical reflection and insights from human experience and scientific discovery.

"If you are looking for one book to make sense of the problem of evil, this book is for you." Sean McDowell Grasping This Truth Will Change Your View of God Forever If God is good and all-powerful, why doesn't He put a stop to the evil in this world? Christians and non-Christians alike struggle with the concept of a loving God who allows widespread suffering in this life and never-ending punishment in hell. We wrestle with questions such as... Why do bad things happen to good people? Why should we have to pay for Adam's sin? How can eternal judgment be fair? But what if the real problem doesn't start with God...but with us? Clay Jones, an associate professor of Christian apologetics at Biola University, examines what Scripture truly says about the nature of evil and why God allows it. Along the way, he'll help you discover the contrasting abundance of God's grace, the overwhelming joy of heaven, and the extraordinary destiny of believers.

This 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.

You're More Than A Conqueror! If you've ever second-guessed whether the Bible remains relevant, look no further than Ephesians. This timeless writing speaks to humanity's deepest struggles and longings. Penned from a prison cell, Paul reorients our thinking in a time we desperately need it. Our battle has never been against flesh and blood, he says, but against darkness and evil in all its forms. Ephesians unveils the depths of our spiritual blessings and illuminates God's marvelous plan to make us alive through Christ. The Holy Spirit empowers us to overcome the enemy's lies and walk in God's provision and power--during a global pandemic, in seasons of uncertainty, in times of suffering. This study is designed to empower you to overcome the wily ways of the enemy. Every time the accuser draws near, you'll be attuned and equipped to declare, "Six feet back, Satan!" and send him back where he belongs.

This mini-book is a chapter from my forthcoming book Enlightenment 101: A Guide to God-Realization and Higher Human Culture. Its subtitle is "Practical Spirituality and Applied Wisdom for Everyday Life." The book looks at the experience of enlightenment for the individual and the race. This chapter begins: What I want to share with you today grows out of my own deeply felt experience and realization about the nature of reality and the Christian tradition in which I was raised. Satan is a central figure in the Judeo-Christian tradition. So to begin, I ask: What does Satan mean to you? Who or what is Satan?
