b"A bit of a twist today as we answer listener's questions that have come in asking: are we meant to take Satan literally? Join Tom Wright as he unravels some of the intricate threads of the New and Old Testaments to uncover the biblical portrayal of the devil. We're looking at some of the questions and looking at biblical passages where Jesus confronts and challenges the forces of darkness, asking what role does the Devil play in affecting ministry and what power does Satan really have? Do we over-think the devil and the supernatural when we avoid heavy metal music, particular pop stars or ban Harry Potter books - where is the line between genuine caution and a kind of 'satanic panic'? What practices should we avoid that should be recognised as 'evil'? And remembering Jesus' ultimate defeat of Satan and death on the cross. \\nEnjoy this thought-provoking discussion that we hope sheds some light on this complex and often misunderstood (or sometimes avoided) topic of 'evil', 'satan' and 'the devil'.\\n\\nOriginally Aired: 30 December 2019\\n\\n More shows, free eBooks & newsletter: premierunbelievable.org\\n\\u2022 Subscribe to the Ask NT Wright Anything podcast:\\xa0https://pod.link/1441656192\\n\\nDiscover More: \\n\\u2022 For live events: http://www.unbelievable.live\\n\\u2022 For online learning: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/courses\\n\\u2022 Support us in the USA: http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow\\n\\u2022 Support us in the rest of the world:\\xa0https://www.premierunbelievable.com/donate\\n\\nThe Ask NT Wright Anything Podcast is a production of Premier Unbelievable? in partnership with\\xa0NTWright Online and SPCK Publishing"
