Beyond Sundays

60. Who (or What) is Satan?


Listen Later

What does the Bible really mean when it talks about Satan? Is he a literal being, a role, a symbol of systemic evil—or something more complex?

In this episode of Beyond Sundays, Hannah leads a thoughtful, honest conversation exploring how Scripture presents Satan and why our understanding matters for fear, temptation, and faith.

We talk about:
• The “satan” in Job—role or name?
• New Testament portrayals like the tempter and the dragon
• Why Christianity rejects cosmic dualism
• Augustine’s idea that evil is a privation of good
• Satan as a singular adversary vs. collective opposition
• How our beliefs about evil shape how we live

This episode isn’t about speculation—it’s about understanding Scripture faithfully while keeping our eyes on Jesus.
