Unmasking the Powers: The Invisible Forces That Determine Human Existence
"Angels, Spirits, principalities, powers,
gods, Satan—these, along with all other
spiritual realities, are the unmentionables
of our culture. The dominant materialistic
worldview has absolutely no place for them.
… [But] materialism itself is terminably
ill, and, let us hope, in process of
replacement by a worldview capable of
honoring the lasting values of modern
science without succumbing to reductionism.
… [Therefore] we find ourselves returning to
the ancient traditions, searching for wisdom
wherever it may be found. We do not
capitulate to the past and its
superstitions, but bring all the gifts our
race has acquired along the way as aids in
recovering the lost language of our souls. …
In Naming the Powers I developed the thesis
... that the New Testament's
"principalities and powers" is a generic
category referring to the determining forces
of physical, psychic, and social existence.
… In the present volume we will be focusing
on just seven of the Powers mentioned in
Scripture. Their selection out of all the
others dealt with in Naming the Powers is
partly arbitrary: they happen to be ones
about which I felt I had something to say.
But they are also representative, and open
the way to comprehending the rest. They
are: Satan, demons, angels of churches,
angels of nations, gods, elements, and
angels of nature."
