Comprehensive Study of Demons and Satan

I realized while I was recommending this book to another person that I had not even written a review of this book despite reading and using this book many times. I believe that this work by Page is simply this most comprehensive study I have ever read on the subject of demons and Satan himself. Page has one point and that is to look to the Bible for answers about the demonic realm. He is not writing a ghost story or chasing demons but he is opening up the Scriptures at every passage that speaks of demons or the devil. I found this book to be highly useful when studying to teach on Satan. Many books seem to embrace mythology about Satan rather than truly seeing what the Scriptures teach. Too often my charismatic brethren have been guilty of over glorifying the enemy of our souls (Rev. 12:9). We need to have a biblical understanding of our enemy and his purpose (John 10:10). I recommend this book if you are interested in a biblical study of demons and Satan. If you are looking for information on dramatic encounters with demons then you will be sadly mistaken to read this book. Page's exegesis of the demonic passages are excellent and trustworthy. A solid book for serious study of Satan.

Theological research how it should be.....

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."

powers of satan

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.
