In this video of Greg Boyd's first lecture on Friday morning, April 26, Greg discusses the importance of waking up to the “the War.” Video shot and edited by Kevin Renel.
The views expressed in this lecture are those of Greg Boyd, not necessarily of The Roberta Winter Institute.
The Devil, Disease, and Deliverance: Origins of Illness in New Testament Thought by John Christopher Thomas (Cleveland, TN: CPT Press 2011) – This book is a scholarly exploration of the relationship between "the Devil and disease, sickness and sin, healing and forgiveness, and exorcism and deliverance." It’s an essential read for anyone seeking to build a Biblically-sound view of disease and, more importantly, develop a proactive faith-based response to it.

The Eradication of Infectious Diseases by Author Donald Hopkins and Editor W. R. Dowdle (Hoboken, NJ: Wiley 1998) – What are the practitioners of the young and immature field of disease eradication saying? There are few sources that will tell you, but this book is one of them. Get up to speed on disease eradication by wading through this account of the proceedings of a workshop hosted by the International Task Force for Disease Eradication. Despite the somewhat dense prose, you will gain a bird’s-eye-view of the state of the movement. Unfortunately, the price tag ($350) is not for the faint of heart. Hint: look for a used copy.
Global Disease Eradication: The Race for the Last Child, by Cynthia A. Needham and Richard Canning (Washington, DC: ASM Press 2003) – For the novice and enthusiast alike, this book is the most readable history of disease eradication available. It chronicles three eradication campaigns (Malaria, Small Pox, Polio), the lessons we’ve learned from past failures, and sticky issues to consider. Highly recommended.
Quoting Piper: "In recent years Ralph Winter has waved another wartime flag. It's worth waving here. God may use it to send some of you in a direction of ministry you never thought was ministry. Winter has been calling our attention to the effects of sin and Satan at the microbiological level..."
