Satan: Lifting the Veil

Theology
#21

I finished writing the entire series last night, and after doing some editing today, I just can’t wait to share it with everyone! So I’m going to start publishing one a day now!

This section is called: Accuser

#22

This is excellent, Geoff…really excellent! :smiley:

I’m following along with great interest.

Thanks!

#23

Very glad to hear, Steve!

The next section is up, and explores Satan’s appearance in Job amongst the sons of God - Part 6

#24

Really good article, bro :slight_smile:

I always thought Job was an interesting book, different from a lot of other books in the Bible, and your article was eye-opening and helps me to understand it better. :slight_smile:

Speaking of Job, have you ever seen this Rob Bell video?

It’s the last video in his excellent ( at least I think it’s excellent :wink: )NOOMA series, and it’s a good one :slight_smile:

Thank you so much! It’s really nice to know I have some friends reading the whole series - I put so much work into it, and this is the only thing I get out of that. :smiley:

I have not - I put a little reminder in my calendar to watch that tonight! Thanks!

Part 7 is up, and examines the appearance of Satan as God’s State Prosecutor in a prophetic vision of Zechariah.

#26

Part 8 is now published, and begins the exploration of Satan in the New Testament.

#27

This just gets better and better! :smiley:

Thanks, Geoff.

#28

Thank you so much! I kind of felt the same way as I was researching this topic - it’s absolutely fascinating!

#29

I have published the next section - Part 9: Azazel. This section deals with the ancient rite of Atonement and its connection to Satan.

#30

Part 10 is up, and begins to explore the story of Jesus’ trials in the desert.

#31

Part 11 is up, and explores some of the Jewish history behind the concepts in Jesus’ day of what a messiah would look like.

#32

Fascinating post on Azazel Geoff :smiley: - and I love that quotation from Peter Rollins!

#33

The book was amazing - one of my favorites. Really had me thinking about a lot of things for a long time. And thank you!

#34

I confess I’ve gotten behind on your series, bro, I only made it up to the 4th or 5th post I think. I’ll try to catch up this weekend :slight_smile:

#35

Gasp Well, that’s just unforgiveable.

:wink: :laughing:

I knew as I released these that there would be some who would take it at their own pace, some for whom I wasn’t releasing them fast enough, and some who would read the first section and not any more.

#36

Just read the section on Maccabees Geoff - still enjoying it greatly - and it’s beautifully written :smiley:

#37

How are you liking Jesus Driven Life? I’m about 60% or so through it, and I think it’s phenomenal and very insightful. I think everyone should read it.

#38

Thank you so much!

I’ve just published Part 12, which explores the third and final temptation of Jesus in the desert.

#39

I’m up to part ten, so just three articles to go (the ones on the temptation in the desert) and I’m all caught up. Good stuff bro, keep 'em coming :slight_smile:

I’m loving it, Tim! :smiley: About 3/4 done. I agree totally with everyone reading it. Though Hardin’s not the greatest stylist, the book is very accessible to non-theologians and his arguments are thorough and well-supported. His presentation of Girard’s “mimetic theory” was concise and excellent and I loved the historical discussion of the early church etc. Just phenomenal, as you said!
