Edward Francis Murphy (1892–1967)

The Handbook for Spiritual Warfare by Dr. Ed Murphy is a comprehensive guide to understanding and engaging in spiritual warfare from a biblical perspective. The book covers the three dimensions of spiritual conflict: the world, the flesh, and the devil, and provides practical advice on how to overcome them. The book also addresses the dangers and pitfalls of careless or excessive spiritual warfare ministry and warns against the misuse of spiritual gifts and authority. It’s not a throwaway read; the book is intended for leaders and mature believers who want to equip themselves and others for spiritual warfare. It is based on the author's extensive research and experience in the field, and draws from various sources, such as theology, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and history. The book is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn more about the reality and nature of spiritual warfare, and how to effectively resist the enemy's schemes. The book is not a sensationalized or sensationalizing account of spiritual warfare, nor a manual for casting out demons or performing miracles, but a sober and balanced treatment that is faithful to the Scriptures and the teachings of the church; a handbook for living a victorious Christian life in a fallen world.… (mais)
