Author: Edward Langton
Series: The Langton Library of Supernatural Theology
Formats: Hardcover • Paperback • eBook
Status: Annotated scholarly edition in final proofing
About the book
First published in 1923, Edward Langton’s Satan: A Portrait remains one of the most comprehensive early modern studies on the nature and development of the doctrine of Satan. This new Stratias Press edition—edited and introduced by Dr. Luke Bray restores Langton’s original text and enriches it with historical commentary, critical footnotes, and theological cross-references.
The result is both preservation and conservation: a bridge between early twentieth-century scholarship and twenty-first-century theological inquiry.
Perfect for: Scholars, pastors, and serious readers interested in demonology, church history, and the evolution of theological thought about evil and spiritual beings.

Along the shoreline of Galilee, Jesus called fishermen, stilled storms, and fed multitudes. The Way of the Sea is a vivid narrative journey that weaves Scripture, first-century context, archaeology, and spiritual reflection to help readers see the Gospels with fresh eyes. From Capernaum to the Decapolis, the book explores how water, work, and worship converged to shape discipleship then and now.
Perfect for: Readers of biblical history and devotional narrative who want spiritual depth anchored in real places.
