Get Thee Behind Me, Satan: Rejecting Evil (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

There's no denying the powerful attraction of evil. Pop culture blockbusters like The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby, and their many recent successors, are but a snapshot of the appeal.

What are the biblical facts about evil, demonic possession, the exorcisms by Jesus? Has the modern-day church downplayed the devil, leaving humans in the lurch? How can everyday folks recognize and avoid the snares of Satan?

In "Get Thee behind Me, Satan": Rejecting Evil, Kevin E. Mackin, OFM, a popular priest and former college president and professor, shares his religious studies as a helpful guide for preachers, catechists, and laypersons. The book offers a unique reader-friendly look at church history, biblical sources and understandings of Satan, exorcisms, the "kingdom of God," faith formation, and keeping the devil away.
