Featured Book from the Editor

Editor’s book by Will Blesch

Go deeper into the hidden history behind angels, Watchers, Nephilim, and non-human intelligence.

In the Shadow of Goliath examines biblical texts, Second Temple traditions, ancient mysteries, and modern high-strangeness reports without reducing the subject to either "ancient aliens" or the claim that all "aliens" are demons.

Why This Book Is in the Directory

The work is centrally and explicitly about Satan and his kingdom — a direct-scope entry presenting Blackstone's own premillennialist Protestant evangelical argument.

Historical Context

Published in 1900 as No. 257 of Fleming H. Revell's Popular Religious Series, Satan; His Kingdom and Its Overthrow belongs to the era's popular evangelical religious-tract tradition, which brought premillennialist theology on Satan and the end times to a broad devotional readership.

What the Author Presents

Blackstone argues supportively for the reality of Satan and his eventual defeat, presenting a scriptural and doctrinal argument consistent with his documented premillennialist evangelical background.

Intended Reader

Best suited for readers interested in Protestant evangelical demonology/eschatology as a devotional or doctrinal subject, and in period (1900) popular religious tract literature. Less suitable for a comparative or academic treatment of demonology.

Strengths and Limitations

A short, well-documented period treatise by an independently archived historical figure (Wheaton College's Billy Graham Archives & Special Collections), with a currently purchasable modern edition. Its inclusion in this directory rests on its explicit, direct treatment of Satan and demonology, not a secondary or incidental theme. Because it is a devotional/doctrinal work rather than a comparative historical survey, its claims are presented here as Blackstone's own argument, not as neutral historical fact or scholarly consensus.

The exact copyright registration number is not fully legible in the primary source, though the registration date and entry position are legible. The modern edition's exact publisher, imprint, publication date, ISBN, and page count are unknown.
