Demonology for the Global Church: A Biblical Approach in a Multicultural Age
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
As Christians, how do we address the contentious and often disturbing subject of demonology? Our cultural paradigms pit us between the extremes of skepticism and sensationalism. Increasingly diverse Christian communities are in desperate need of a biblical understanding of the demonic that transcends cultural frameworks–an understanding that will challenge assumptions, rebuke errors, and unite Christians in scriptural truth.
Demonology for the Global Church endeavors to provide the biblical and theological essentials for a unified Christian perspective of the demonic. Avoiding speculation and anecdotal evidence, Scott D. MacDonald roots his analysis in Scripture. He frames a biblical demonology in light of global and contextual concerns, offering an understanding that avoids the pitfalls of anti-supernaturalism and over emphasis.
If the church is to effectively overcome its spiritual adversaries, Christians from around the world must stand and resist together. This is an essential resource for the global church, relevant to students of theology, institutional scholars, cross-cultural missionaries, local pastors, and all types of Christian leaders.

Mainstream Evangelicalism in North America largely ignores the issue of demonology. When the subject comes up, it causes immediate discomfort, along with the fear that sensationalism and extra biblicalspeculation are about to surface. MacDonald does an excellent job of charting a sober-minded course through this issue.

Very disappointing. There was not much of value to be learned by reading it, so I returned it within my 30 days to Logos. A lot of quoting other authors, including rejecting some of Michael Heiser’s teachings, but not much in-depth scripture study at all.
