Product Description
With wisdom and a keen ability to apply biblical truth to everyday problems, Chip Ingram reveals God's true nature and desire to care for his people in a way the no earthly person can. Whether struggling with day-to-day problems or overwhelming hardship, readers will find the strength and encouragement they need.
Ingram
This complete look at what the Bible says about Satan and his demons traces every biblical reference to the devil and the demonic. The author interprets passages that have been launching pads for false conclusions and compares past and current views against the text.

Theological research how it should be.....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Powers of Evil: A Biblical Study of Satan and Demons (Paperback)
This was a very interesting and informative read. The author had clearly done his homework. Instead of propping up his personal and/or denominational agenda, he gave equal play to various interpretations. At the same time, he would explain why a particular interpretation was strained or altogether wrong.I have yet to find a better Biblical exploration of the subject of demonology. Far to often such books are full of paranoia, speculation, and extra-biblical quotations. This was a well-grounded and scholarly approach to one of the tougher subjects in Christian theology. Favorable consideration should be given "Powers of Evil."

Excellent Writing on Satan and Other Evil Spirits,
By Rene Prem (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Powers of Evil: A Biblical Study of Satan and Demons (Paperback)
Page's "Powers of Evil" is an excellent study on Satan, fallen angels, demons, and evil spirits from a Christian perspective. The book is such a fine approach to the topic that a motivated person reads straight through the whole book. It seems the author's motivation for writing this book derives from today's confusion about Satan and evil spirits. People "are confronted by a bewildering array of conflicting ideas and claims" about these supernatural beings. The author is convinced that "the [Christian] Bible's authority is primary" for understanding the nature and actions of Satan and his angels. Moreover, it is wise to read the Holy Scripture for getting a true picture of these celestial beings and being able to distinguish between a meaningful statement and nonsense about Satan and evil spirits. He writes: "One cannot expect to be able to assess contemporary phenomena with discernment without having a solid grasp of what the Bible actually teaches". Dr. Page uses the Christian Bible very carefully as the main authority for his research and conclusion. Furthermore, he takes into consideration many commentaries and other writings about the topic. Page's book is very well developed and outlined. First, he writes about Satan, fallen angels, demons, and evil spirits in the Old Testament. Afterwards, he is focused on Satan and Jesus in conflict as well as Jesus' mastery of the demons (New Testament). Finally, Dr. Page writes about the apostolic teaching concerning Satan and the powers of evil (New Testament). Page's discussion of every explicit reference to Satan and other evil spirits in the Christian Bible and the brief excursus on exorcism in the modern world are very insightful and supportive. Analyzing such a difficult topic and referring to modern forms of appearances through God's Word, extensive research and a clear mind make this book an excellent academic and valuable writing. Page's book can certainly assist people to understand the "world" of Satan and evil spirits as well as the mastery of all these evil spirits through Christ Jesus.

powers of satan,
By A Customer
This review is from: Powers of Evil: A Biblical Study of Satan and Demons (Paperback)
well lets see it is a good book and it talks about the powers of satan. it is a well described book on the powers. it talks about satan and what he is able to do. and it talks about the demons. i like this book very much it is like my bible. i think that other people should read this book if they like demons adn if they are into that kinda thing. this book is really really cool. what i liked about the book was that it told some of the research that they did on it and what they thought about the different powers. it has a lot of usefull information if you are doing a report or something like that on demons and satan or if you are into that kind of stuff.
