The Adversary His Person, Power, and Purpose: A Study in Satanology

By William a Matson

Who is Satan, what power does he possess, and what purpose does Scripture assign to his work?

In The Adversary: His Person, Power, and Purpose, William A. Matson, D.D., examines the biblical portrait of Satan as a personal spiritual adversary rather than a mere symbol of evil. Drawing from passages across Scripture, Matson considers the Adversary's character, activity, influence, limitations, and opposition to the purposes of God.

The study explores Satan's role as tempter, deceiver, accuser, and enemy, while also addressing the spiritual conflict between good and evil and the believer's need for vigilance and discernment.

Serious, theological, and firmly rooted in biblical interpretation, The Adversary offers a focused study of Satanology and the place of the Adversary within Christian doctrine.
