The book The Satanic Kerygma contains a godless, satanic doctrine, a theology of godlessness—the biblical mystery of godlessness. It constitutes a study of theistic delusional truths and the path of man's transformation to a state of total godlessness.

But this is much more than a tour through the underworld. This topic drives us to take a closer look at the Bible, Christian theology, and the character of God.

Bridging the end of the Old Testament period and the beginning of the New Testament period, this book surveys the history and theological developments of four significant eras in Israel's post-exilic history: the Late Persian Era (465-331 BC), the Hellenistic Era (332-167 BC), the Hasmonean Era (167-63 BC), and the Roman Era (63-4 BC).

In this volume, renowned biblical scholar Graeme Goldsworthy shows what Christ's fulfillment of the divine sonship motif means for all who are sons and daughters of God.

Throughout the Old Testament and into the New, God not only demands righteousness from his people but also showers on grace that enables them to act.
