Deliver us from evil

Deliver us from evil

By Richard H. Bell

Book Description

In this comprehensive theological exploration, Richard H. Bell embarks on a profound investigation into one of Christianity's most fundamental themes: humanity's liberation from spiritual bondage. Originally conceived as an examination of Satan's defeat throughout New Testament writings, the work evolved into something deeper and more nuanced as Bell discovered the complexity of how different biblical authors approach this ancient struggle.

Rather than finding a uniform narrative of demonic defeat, Bell uncovers a rich tapestry of perspectives on spiritual redemption. While the synoptic gospels present exorcisms as clear victories over evil forces, other New Testament writers like Paul focus on humanity's rescue from Satan's dominion rather than the adversary's outright conquest. This realization led Bell to shift his scholarly lens toward understanding the mechanisms through which human beings find freedom from evil's influence.

Spanning 439 pages, this work offers readers a thorough examination of demonology and spiritual warfare as understood through biblical scholarship. Bell's methodical approach reveals how various New Testament authors conceptualized the relationship between divine power and human liberation from destructive spiritual forces.

For those seeking to understand the theological foundations of spiritual freedom, this book provides scholarly insight into how early Christian writers understood humanity's path from spiritual captivity to redemption. Bell's research illuminates the diverse ways Scripture addresses our deepest questions about overcoming the forces that oppose human flourishing and spiritual growth.
