When we conjure up the idea of the devil and the demonic hordes in our mind, we are often thinking in the context of how Christianity has portrayed them. The devil and his supposed horns, the Exorcist’s battle with the demon possessed, the inverted cross, the Osculum infame (The Infamous kiss) or the Black Mass in which a young woman is sacrificed to Satan. All these are mostly influenced by Christian ideas in some way or another. The Prominence of Christianity in the study of demonology cannot be denied.

As we know, Jesus established His church when talking to Peter those many centuries ago. ”And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18) During the centuries that followed after Jesus made this statement to Peter, His church has been assailed almost constantly by various false teachers. I believe it is just as relevant today that we guard ourselves against the false teachings of those who would deceive us as it has been at any time during the past 2000 years.

The Book of Genesis, the first book of the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, is Judaism's account of the creation of the world and the origins of the Jewish people. It is divisible into two parts, the primeval history (chapters 1–11) and the ancestral history (chapters 12–50).

In this book, the author addresses a common challenge among Christians: misinterpreting scripture due to a lack of context. Through personal anecdotes and theological insights, he explains how even seasoned theologians can misread passages. However, he argues that acknowledging the potential for misunderstanding allows room for growth and correction by God. By delving into the Book of Job—a frequently misunderstood text—the author illustrates how these interpretation techniques can be applied practically.

The God of the Old Testament commanded and endorsed many practices that we find morally reprehensible today. High on the list was the institution of slavery, which features prominently in several sections of the Hebrew Bible. Fathers could sell their daughters into slavery; masters could beat their slaves; creditors could carry off children for failure to repay a debt; and foreigners could be kept for life, passed down as inherited property. How are we to make sense of all of this from our modern point of view?
