In The Exorcism of Satan: The Binding of the Strong Man by Christ the King, Joshua P. Howard contends that Satan has been exorcised in this age by the work of Christ in His first coming. He examines the theme of satanic exorcism in the New Testament while contributing to the doctrine of satanic defeat within a whole-Bible eschatological perspective. Though Christ is presently triumphant and victory has been decisively achieved, suffering and evil both exist in this age, as the final victory is yet to come. Howard proposes that Christ’s triumphant first coming achieved a satanic exorcism in this age that has produced cosmic eschatological consequences that directly affect believers’ experience in this age and the age to come.

"Some books on spiritual warfare so focus on Satan that the enemy receives more attention than the Bible gives him. Others so emphasize the ongoing battle that the reader is almost defeated before he or she finishes reading the book. Still other books spend more time speculating on Satan than on teaching Scripture. This book avoids every one of these errors. It rightly situates the story of Satan in the context of God’s overall victory, both in this age and in the age to come. It properly emphasizes satanic defeat, recognizing that Satan has been defeated, is being defeated, and will be defeated. This work is thoroughly biblical, convincingly walking through the Scriptures to show the defeat of a foe who still wars against us. It will inform you, challenge you, caution you, encourage you, and strengthen you—all at the same time.” Dr. Charles Edward Lawless, Jr., PhD Professor of Evangelism and Missions & Dean of Doctoral Studies, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, NC
