Guest: Brian Godawa - Jesus Triumphant

A Theological Novel of Christ's Victory Over the Powers The story of Christ like you've never heard it before. Told through the eyes of the two thieves on the cross and the spiritual warfare hidden from mortal men. It starts with the temptation in the desert by Satan and ends with Christ's descent into Hades, his resurrection and his ascension. 

In between, we see Jesus' ministry in the context of the Biblical motif of Christ taking back the inheritance of the nations from the rebellious Sons of God. The demons that rose up in that day were not random but were the spirits of the dead Nephilim, and part of a comprehensive battle strategy between Christ and the Powers. When it comes to spiritual warfare, Jesus was no pacifist. 

Jesus Triumphant explains why most people misunderstood the deliverer to be a worldly warrior king instead of the suffering Servant he was. He was a warrior, but it was a war they could not see with mortal eyes. In Jesus Triumphant, we now see it.

Jesus Triumphant will...

• Show the spiritual warfare hidden from mortal eyes that attended Christ's victory over the principalities and powers. The gods of the nations fight back with demons and face their ultimate battle.

• Tell the story of Christ's descent into Hades to free the captives and proclaim triumph to the bound angels from Noah's Day (1 Peter 3:18-20).

• Use the fantasy genre to express theological truth. Just like Lewis and Tolkien did.

• Maintain respect for the Biblical text, while filling in gaps with Biblical imagination
