EXORCISM AND DELIVERANCE PB

Since Jesus of Nazareth made exorcism a cornerstone of his own ministry, the Church has seen itself as engaged in a battle against the demonic.

Exorcism has continued to play a role throughout Christian history in this conflict, although it has received different emphases in different times and places, and has been practiced in a range of different ways.

Exorcism And Deliverance aims to shed new light on the phenomena of possession and exorcism by looking at them from a range of disciplinary perspectives.

After an introduction to issues raised for theology by non theological studies of possession (Robin Parry), the book moves on to consider demons and deliverance in:

- the Old Testament
- the New Testament
- the Patristic period
- the 20th Century West
- Majority World Pentecostalism
- anthropology
- psychology
- philosophy
- cultural studies
- two different theological perspectives
- practical theology
