Instructor: Pierre Gilbert, PhD
Description: The New Testament leaves no doubt as to the existence of Satan and demons. But the crucial issue to be clarified pertains to how demonic forces interact with human beings. Our assumption is that the best way to understand how the demonic and human spheres interface is to reexamine the notion of a biblical worldview, and how its most basic elements impact our understanding of the spiritual world. While the biblical text recognizes the reality of the demonic, it also teaches that men and women have been given the ability to determine their own fate. Three texts will be at the center of our investigation: The creation account (Gen 1-3), the Gospel of Mark, and 1 Corinthians chapters 8 and 10. Sample of the questions that will be examined include: ‘What does the New Testament teach about the existence of Satan and demons?’, ‘Can demons affect the physical world?’, and ‘How does the demonic manifest itself in Western culture?’
