Spirit Possession around the World
Possession, Communion, and Demon Expulsion across Cultures
by Joseph Laycock, Editor
June 2015
ABC-CLIO
Beyond addressing the Christian tradition of possession and exorcism, Pentecostalism, and “New Age” and less widely known Western concepts about possession and exorcism, this work examines ideas about possession and exorcism from other world religions and the indigenous cultures of Asia, Africa, and the Americas. It also covers historic cases of possession and presents biographies of famous theologians, exorcists, and possessed individuals. High school and undergraduate readers will learn about world history, religious and spiritual traditions, and world cultures through a topic that figures prominently in popular culture and modern entertainment. Bibliographies that accompany each entry as well as a selected, general bibliography serve to help students locate print and electronic sources of additional information.
