Our Ancient Foe: Satan’s History, Activity, and Ultimate Demise
Overview
Satan. The Devil. Beelzebub.
Our sworn enemy goes by many names. Scripture calls him our “adversary” who prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. He “doth seek to work us woe”—and our testimonies and lives hang in the balance.
Yet Christians are often ignorant of his plans, power, and even presence, and are easily caught off guard. Are we taking Satan seriously? Do we know how to stand firm against the prince of this world?
Here, respected pastor-scholars shine the light of Scripture on our ancient foe, identifying who he is, explaining how he operates, exposing his deceit, and celebrating his final demise. They will equip you to more fully understand the war we are engaged in and how you can “resist the devil” in the power of Christ.

Top Highlights
“They saw evil, and they saw themselves as naked, so that they desperately sought to cover themselves. Their innocence was no more. Guilt and fear gripped their hearts. Now love—loving God and loving each other—would become a labor.” (Pages 10–11)
“They were not self-centered but other-centered. They were directed outwardly toward God and toward each other, and in all this, they were simply there for each other to see and love.” (Page 3)
“When we begin to allow our thinking to lead us away from absolute obedience to the Word of God, we are misusing our reason and misplacing our affections.” (Page 19)
“Remember that Genesis begins with God creating everything by his Word” (Page 4)
“The frightening truth is that the disciples are not aware of Satan’s presence, but the comforting truth is that Jesus is. Jesus knows that when he, the good and the great and the chief shepherd, will be smitten, the sheep will be scattered, and Satan will attack them like a wolf. But Jesus also knows that he will continue praying for them.” (Page 103)
