Demons and Spirits in Biblical Theology

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The authors argue against two diametrically opposed interpretations of demons in the Bible: demythologizing and reifying. They present a third approach, understanding references to the demonic within the cultural framework and mindset of each of the biblical authors. Their book is an original and cogent contribution to biblical scholarship, and absolutely essential for the scholarly study of the Devil.”

Poems Written in a Time of Plague

Arts & Literature

“These powerful, prophetic poems descend into the darkness of our physical, social, and spiritual plagues, then with the Holy Dove rise again in divine hope, love, and the peace that comes when suffering has been transformed and the heart has been renewed.”

The Sculptor and His Stone

Theology

“This fine book illustrates how early Christian thought synthesized Jewish revelation with Greek philosophy and literature, integrating intellectual knowledge with spiritual understanding. The articles illustrate this synthesis with a number of topics, such as the relationship between soul, body, and spirit. Metropolitan Chrysostomos' clear Introduction encourages readers, in the current anti-Christian culture, to understand the powerful truths and insights of the early Christian writers.”
