Angels, Demons, and Christus Victor : The Theology Pugcast Episode 226

- A timely discussion of the biblical reality of the spiritual realm, the angelic, the demonic, and Christ’s victory over Satan, death, hell, and the grave. Tom introduces the problematic placement of the place of angels and demons in contemporary theology and the need to retrieve the rich biblical vision which shaped classic Christian orthodoxy. Chris and Glenn chime in with a wealth of insight and perspective as the guys unpack this theme. Further, Tom brings into the discussion the biblical atonement theme of Christus Victor, Christ’s triumph over Satan and the bondage he has held creation under until Christ’s triumph over evil on the Cross. The guys each contribute to the import of such a biblical emphasis in having a full understanding of the work of Christ over evil and our confidence in Him.

This podcast and the one about Anthony make me wonder how much I tend to downplay demons and spiritual warfare in my own life
Michael Heiser's "An Unseen Realm" would be an excellent addition to help with this clarification.
This was such a good episode! I feel like I need to go make some notes and then listen again.
Those who deny the existence of demons or their corrupting influence on the world are doomed to be dominated by them. For to deny demons is to deny Scripture and to deny Scripture is to deny Christ.
God bless you, gentlemen!
@ the 6:20 mark. Someone who is not talked about nearly enough or even at all on the show is Geerhardus Vos. In his book, The Self-Disclosure of Jesus, O. Palmer Robertson summarizes Vos' teaching on the joy the disciples had when they performed miracles and even had authority over demons, Robertson writes, "Success in delivering people from the powers of sin and Satan as just experienced by Jesus' disciples depends altogether on Jesus. Freeing people from the control of Satan falls uniquely in the realm of Jesus' role as messianic Son, the Anointed King of His people."
btw, the Roberston quote is from his newest book, Christ of the Consummation. So good.
Great content!
I'm trying to get some clarity on the tripartite anthropology. Would it appropriate to say that the soul deals more with the "internal" invisible realm, whereas the spirit deals with the "external" invisible realm? The point about being spiritual dead (though obviously still being an active soul) was helpful in demonstrating that there's a real distinction there.
