Menu of Study for Satan, the Devil

Satan is a fallen angel. He is not a god, and he does not even begin to have the abilities and power of God. Understanding Satan is essential in avoiding falling into his devices.

Luther Tracey Townsend I have not been able to find much information on Townsend yet. One fact I did find is that he spoke at Wheaton College in the 1880 commencement activities. He is listed as a theology professor. So that puts him the late 1900s as of living and in the Wheaton College orbit at that time. University of Pennsylvania's Online books has him listed, giving his birth and death dates. (1832-1922).
