Systematic Theology, Wayne Grudem – Chapter 20 Summary PDF File – SATAN & DEMONS (adapted – waynegrudem.com)
(Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology is one of many excellent resources for deeper study on theological questions. Like any book outside of the Bible – it is of course not inerrant! It contains some views that you will wholeheartedly agree with and some you may not – but these chapters on angels, demons, and Satan are very good. It varies some from what I have taught, as it prefers a different view of the interpretation of Genesis 6 than I presented on 9/1/24. The main issue is that the views that Grudem prefers are centered in orthodoxy, fairly stated, and a great starting point for further study. Another place to do quick research on these topics can be found on gotquestions.org and thegospelcoalition.org.)

For an excellent video seeing Sam in action discussing the End Times, see An Evening of Eschatology – Premillennialism, Amillennialism, & Postmillennialism: Piper, Hamilton, Wilson, & Storms. The video is over 2 hours, but even the first 20 minutes is such an outstanding example of how we can learn and grow together in the midst of differing perspectives regarding scripture. Note that as John Piper said, within “Orthodoxy;” i.e., we can grow together and learn from one another as we treat the word of God with reverence and pursue the faith centered in Christ “that was once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3).”
