Are Satan and demons for real? As educated, 21st century American followers of Jesus, how are we supposed to think about the unseen realm. The biblical authors just assume the reality of invisible beings. Is this just a cultural issue? Or something more? Paul’s letter to the Ephesians climaxes with instructions for engaging in battle with an unseen enemy. This seems to be a major theme, not only for Paul, but for Jesus too. What does this mean for our day-to-day lives in San Diego? What, if anything, does Satan have to do with our morning commute or our graduate studies or changing our baby's diaper? According to the biblical authors, truth is stranger than fiction.
