-A Biblical-Theological Narrative of Ontological Rebellion and Restoration
Angels, Satan, and Those Who Sit in the Shadow is a biblical-theological study that reads Scripture as an ontological drama of rebellion and restoration, rather than merely as a collection of moral lessons or historical accounts.
This work develops from the author’s prior literary study of the Parable of the Good Samaritan and extends the inquiry into the wider biblical narrative of angels, Satan, humanity, dwelling place, rebellion, and restoration. It emphasizes theological literacy, literary imagery, and canonical structure as essential tools for interpreting Scripture.
The downloadable PDF below contains selected material from the book: the Preface, the Introduction, and the Appendix, “Ten Theological Questions.” These sections present the author’s motivation, theological framework, methodological approach, and the key questions that summarize the central argument of the book.
This excerpt is provided as an open-access sample for academic and public reference. The full English edition was first published through Amazon KDP in 2025.
