"This book makes the case that Scripture and experiences from around the world demonstrate that the full range of spiritual gifts, including prophecy and healing, remain valid today.
Recently, some have claimed that certain spiritual gifts have died out, a position called cessationism. Here noted New Testament scholar Craig S. Keener partners with leading global evangelist and pastor Daniel Kolenda to show that this position rests on tradition and contradicts the plain witness of Scripture. Nowhere does Scripture teach that any gifts will cease before Christ's return; therefore, the argument that particular spiritual gifts have ceased elevates a postbiblical doctrine above Scripture itself.
Balancing biblical exposition with stories from around the world, Keener and Kolenda argue for continuationism—the continuing work of the Spirit. They show that Scripture presents special divine activity as valid for the entire course of the present age."

"The supernatural realm is very real, and it directly impacts our day-to-day lives. Often spiritual battles lie behind our everyday struggles. Though the spiritual world is invisible, we are not unaware of the enemy's schemes. Through God's Word and the power of the Holy Spirit we are equipped to be more than conquerors through Christ! With doctrinally sound, practical teaching, Slaying Dragons shows how the demonic realm fits into orthodox thoughts on salvation, redemption, and kingdom life. Daniel Kolenda demystifies spiritual warfare to shine light on what the enemy is doing in readers' lives and what they can do to slay every dragon they encounter. It also contains real-world examples of encounters with spiritual darkness, demonstrating examples of how 'the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it' (John 1:5, NIV). It's easy to lose sight of the big picture as we focus on our everyday struggles. But our daily battles are part of a much bigger war, and we have been given all we need to win. Slaying Dragons will show readers what the enemy is trying to accomplish and how they can slay every dragon they encounter—in their lives and in the world."
