No one can expect to be victorious against the adversary of our souls unless he understands that adversary; unless he understands his philosophy, his methods of operation, his methods of temptation. Because we hear little today about Satan, many, even though they recognize Satan’s existence and acknowledge that he is the enemy of their souls, are poorly prepared to meet him. We do not know what Scripture teaches about him, his methods, his person, his plans, his program, his devices. Consequently, we fall in defeat before him.
If we are going to be victorious in the warfare against Satan, we need to understand that large body of Scripture that reveals to us the person and work of the one with whom we are at war. The author’s purpose in this book is to learn from these extensive Scriptures the true nature of our adversary, the devil—so we may detect his movements in our daily experience, so that victory may be ours as we come to understand and know his activity. Included are chapters on: The Fall of Satan The Sin of Satan The Hierarchy of Satan Satan’s Conquest of the Earth Satan, the Deceiver Satan, the Perverter Satan, the Imitator Satan, the Lawless One Satan, the Rebel Pursued by a Roaring Lion The Doctrine of Satan Satan’s Response to the Preaching of the Word How Satan Tempts Satan’s Steps in Temptation How Satan Operates Christ’s Conquest of Satan The Believer’s Authority Over Satan Putting the Adversary to Flight Trafficking With Demons Satan’s Destiny Here is a fresh illuminating study of the archenemy of our souls, Satan himself.
