Book Review: “Spiritual Warfare in the Storyline of Scripture” by William F. Cook III & Chuck Lawless
“The book is taking seriously the presence and activity of demonic entities in the world, but it avoids leaning into sensationalism, charismatic assumptions or unhealthy obsession about the reality of spiritual warfare. For instance, the Bible is not actually about the devil, and so, as the writers state in the introduction, this is not a book about the devil. It’s a book about God and his ultimate victory over Satan and the forces of evil.”
Book Review: “The Dark Side of the Supernatural” by Bill Myers & David Wimbish
“As I prepare to begin a short topical sermon series on spiritual warfare, I have been reading various books and articles on the topic. It has always been my opinion that the reformed Presbyterian tradition could stand to give a little more attention to the question of demonic activity in the world. When this topic is treated, it is mostly expressed as a systematic theology of Satan and angels, with practical applications from Ephesians 6. Of course this is totally legitimate and necessary, but is there anything more to say about the existence and activity of demonic spirits and the reality of the supernatural dark side?”
