one of the best critiques on the occult

Its a pity that some books have gone out of print. This is one of those books. I recently picked this book up at a used bookstore and was very impressed by its scholarly approach. The book is a christian critique of the occult. However, it is not one sided and at least gives the arguments for the other side. The book starts out by saying that the occult, which the authors mean by satanism, witchcraft, magick, meditation and psychic forces are dangerous to use. They claim that while it may be true that there are enormous powers in man, it is better that they are not awakened, since demons could use such a man to their will. They give examples of people who have unleased these powers. One instance, they cite as proof of their claim was Hitler, who was a psychic medium and was involved with occult groups and forces. The rest of the book gives arguments against the occult which are well worth considering. Although I am not in complete agreement with what they write, I do agree that the occult does have power to anyone who is persistant enough to tap its power. The authors say that one should not play with the dark bolts of the occult and it is a warning that should be heeded.
