An excellent collection of essays about demon possession

This collection of essays stems from a symposium convened by the Christian Medical Society. It encompasses a variety of scholarly disciplines: Biblical Studies, Law, Church History, Missiology, Psychiatry, Anthropology and English Literature. The essayists are evangelical Christians affiliated with a variety of academic institutions. The essays explore the phenomena of the demonic in the Bible, in literature, on the mission field, in anthropology, legal history and psychiatric treatment. All essayists accept the reality of the demonic but they are cautious about finding a demon "under every rock". This collection will primarily be of interest to Christian readers who seek to gain an in depth and comprehensive over view of the subject.
