"Exorcism: Past and Present" by William M. L. Greer presents a thoughtful and scholarly exploration of the ritual of exorcism throughout Christian history. Drawing from biblical sources, early Church writings, and contemporary practice, Greer examines the evolving understanding of demonic possession, spiritual deliverance, and the Church’s role in spiritual warfare.
This insightful book offers a balanced view of historical theology, psychological interpretations, and modern-day experiences of deliverance, helping readers navigate between superstition and spiritual reality. Greer also investigates the renewed interest in exorcism within contemporary Christian communities and how it intersects with mental health, pastoral care, and interfaith perspectives.
