Opposing Forces is a book that tells the story of God against the Devil. It is a story that entails the need to defeat evil. As the war against Satan unfolded through out the centuries, the notion of conflictive progress was taking shape. Indeed, Opposing Forces is a book that shows why and how faith in progress has been a concern in Western Civilization. The secularization of progress, Ramos argues, comes from the conflict between good and evil. Although addressing social evil has been a concern, the bottom line is that the destruction of the Devil has been much more important. Therefore, the war against the Devil and his minions have been expressed theologically and through literature, literature that includes novels and films. Defeating evil becomes the task of the protagonist. He or she confronts a powerful evil force, a quest that takes on mythological attributes. One can find the war against evil in the silver screen. Or, one can find spiritual combat against the Devil in the arena of demonic possession. Either way, evil is destined to loose before a higher plateau of good's existence is achieved.
