The Message of Spiritual Warfare by Keith Ferdinando (New, 2016, Pbk, 256 pgs, IVP Academic)

New. ISBN 9780830824182

The pages of Scripture are rife with references to the conflict of God's people with Satan and the "dominion of darkness," the fallen world, and the continuing pull of the sinful nature. Satan, sin, and the world are all expressions of cosmic rebellion against the Creator and his will and purposes, and God himself addresses that opposition and brings it to nothing.

In The Message of Spiritual Warfare, a volume from The Bible Speaks Today: Bible Themes series, Keith Ferdinando forwards a valuable exposition of this key biblical theme of spiritual warfare, explaining the nature of Satan and his activity in God's created world, the different dimensions of Christ's victory over Satan, how Christ's victory over Satan impacts God's people, and the various areas in which believers must fight sin and Satan. Additionally, Ferdinando offers clarity as to the "weapons" with which God equips his people to overcome the darkness.

This valuable resource expounds on a range of Old and New Testament texts, helping pastors, teachers, and students to better understand spiritual warfare so that they may fight the good fight and finish the course with joy.
