Do you have the faith of demons? The Faith of Demons was written to combat counterfeit gospels, false conversions, nominal Christianity, and easy-believism within the evangelical church. It was written for church members, pastors, leaders, teachers, students, the curious, the casual, and the lost. We live in a day when anything and everything goes. So many are confused when it comes to the truth, God's redeeming truth. People cling to not only a false notion of God, but also his salvation. People are dying and going to hell because they are trusting in something other than Christ alone for salvation. These people, however, are religious and go to church. What they believe does not save them. Sadly, they have what the very demons possess-a faith, a belief that falls regrettably short of salvation. What they have is knowledge void of a life-changing, soul-saving, God-glorifying, conversion. Everyone has faith in something; faith is what one believes in. Therefore, demons and even atheists have faith. The Faith of Demons begins by examining the knowledge and experiences of Satan and demons in an effort to reveal the truth that saving faith must differ from what is common to the demonic realm. These fallen angels know a great deal about Scripture, God, Christ, and salvation. Yet, they are and forever will be lost and doomed. True saving faith cannot merely be based on knowledge and facts. Certainly, these are important, but salvation must include repentance and a trusting in Christ Jesus for deliverance from the penalty of sin. After this groundwork is laid, the focus is changed to professing believers. Our attention is turned to self-examination and sin. The idea being that if demons have this knowledge, we must look at what we call salvation and make sure that it isn't the faith of demons. Chapters cover sin and false gospels that give rise to false conversions and assurance. Examples from the Old and New Testaments are highlighted to show that religious people throughout the Bible fell short of salvation. After learning about and confronting falsehoods and counterfeits, the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ is presented. Faith, repentance, Christ, assurance, and the plan of redemption are discussed. Examples from Scripture are presented to show positive attributes that need to be emulated. In the end, it is the grace of God that we need and that changes everything. The Faith of Demons is 430 pages, fully indexed, and incorporates over two hundred quotes from the Puritans, Reformed theologians, and modern pastors and scholars. More importantly, over twenty-five hundred references are made to the Bible. The Faith of Demons is a biblical examination of true versus false faith and conversion and counterfeit gospels. The Faith of Demons, in the end, is about salvation (repenting and trusting in the perfect substitute-Jesus Christ, who took on flesh and bore the wrath of God to redeem and ransom sinners).

The truth about demons is far stranger—and even more fascinating—than what's commonly believed. Are demons real? Are they red creatures with goatees holding pitchforks and sitting on people's shoulders while whispering bad things? Did a third of the angels really rebel with Satan? Are demons and "principalities and powers" just terms for the same entities, or are they different members of the kingdom of darkness? Is the world a chaotic mess because of what happened in Eden, or is there more to the story of evil? What people believed about evil spiritual forces in ancient biblical times is often very different than what people have been led to believe about them today. And this ancient worldview is missing from most attempts to treat the topic. In Demons, Michael Heiser debunks popular presuppositions about the very real powers of darkness. Rather than traditions, stories, speculations, or myths, Demons is grounded in what ancient people of both the Old and New Testament eras believed about evil spiritual forces and in what the Bible actually says. You'll come away with a sound, biblical understanding of demons, supernatural rebellion, evil spirits, and spiritual warfare.
A noted author and activist brings his critical acumen and rhetorical skills to bear in this polemic against the dark side of religion. Unlike some popular works by stridently outspoken atheists, this is not a blanket condemnation of all believers. Rather the author's focus is the heartless exploitation of faithful followers by those in power, as well as sectarian intolerance, the violence against heretics and nonbelievers, and the reactionary political and economic collusion that has often prevailed between the upper echelons of church and state. Parenti notes the deleterious effects of past theocracies and the threat to our freedoms posed by present-day fundamentalists and theocratic reactionaries. He discusses how socially conscious and egalitarian minded liberal religionists have often been isolated and marginalized by their more conservative (and better financed) coreligionists. Finally, he documents the growing strength of secular freethinkers who are doing battle against the intolerant theocratic usurpers in public life. Historically anchored yet sharply focused on the contemporary scene, this eloquent indictment of religion’s dangers will be welcomed by committed secular laypersons and progressive religionists alike.
Every church has its own method for getting into heaven, so how can a person know the way to true salvation? If someone is a Christian, how does he know if he walks on the correct path? What does Jesus' salvation call look like? This book examines how Jesus made Christians while contrasting it with today's salvation calls. This book is a great tool for introducing non-believers to Christ, as well as giving Christians a fresh look at their salvation.
Fifteen years after its original publication comes a thoroughly revised edition of the Evangelical Dictionary of Theology. Every article from the original edition has been revisited. With some articles being removed, others revised, and many new articles added, the result is a completely new dictionary covering systematic, historical, and philosophical theology as well as theological ethics.
Some people believe that a battle of cosmic proportions is raging as Satan and his demons seek to destroy Christians and undermine God's plans. Others believe that all talk of demons in the Bible and theology only reflects pre-modern superstitions that should be re-interpreted in philosophical and psychological terms. Despite their contrasts, both believe that the Bible directly or indirectly intends to teach readers about reality. Another path is possible. What if references to demons in the Bible are similar to references about the shape and structure of the cosmos representing the beliefs familiar to the ancient audience but used only as a framework for teaching about the plans and purposes of God? This approach is here worked out through detailed examination of hermeneutical method, the ancient Near Eastern and Greco-Roman contexts, each of the biblical terms and passages, and the essentials of biblical and systematic theology. Unlike many scholarly treatments of demons, readers will not find an assessment of the metaphysical realities. Instead they will be introduced to a hermeneutical, exegetical, and theological feast regarding what the Bible, understood in its ancient context, teaches.

Angels occupy a significant space in contemporary popular spirituality. Yet, today more than ever, the belief in the existence of intermediary spirits between the human and divine realms needs to be evangelized and Christianized. Angels and Demons offers a detailed synthesis of the givens of the Christian tradition concerning the angels and demons, as systematized in its essential principles by St. Thomas Aquinas. Certainly, the doctrine of angels and demons is not at the heart of Christian faith, but its place is far from negligible. On the one hand, as part of faith seeking understanding, angelology has been and can continue to be a source of enrichment for philosophy. Thus, reflection on the ontological constitution of the angel, on the modes of angelic knowledge, and on the nature of the sin of Satan can engage and shed light on the most fundamental areas of metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. On the other hand, angelology, insofar as it is inseparable from the ensemble of the Christian mystery (from the doctrine of creation to the Christian understanding of the spiritual life), can be envisioned from an original and fruitful perspective.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is not about what Jesus can do for your life. It is not even the answer to the question, "How can I be saved?" It is the declaration of a victory. In His coming to earth, His suffering, and His Resurrection, Christ conquered demons, sin, and death. In Arise, O God, author and podcaster Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick introduces us to the spiritual war that Christ won by His victory, how we are caught in that war's cosmic crossfire, what the true content of the gospel is-and how we are to respond.
