Download or read book Demonic History written by Kirk Wetters and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-31 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ambitious book, Kirk Wetters traces the genealogy of the demonic in German literature from its imbrications in Goethe to its varying legacies in the work of essential authors, both canonical and less well known, such as Gundolf, Spengler, Benjamin, Lukács, and Doderer. Wetters focuses especially on the philological and metaphorological resonances of the demonic from its core formations through its appropriations in the tumultuous twentieth century. Propelled by equal parts theoretical and historical acumen, Wetters explores the ways in which the question of the demonic has been employed to multiple theoretical, literary, and historico-political ends. He thereby produces an intellectual history that will be consequential both to scholars of German literature and to comparatists.
Book Synopsis Demonic Bodies and the Dark Ecologies of Early Christian Culture by : Travis W. Proctor
Download or read book Demonic Bodies and the Dark Ecologies of Early Christian Culture written by Travis W. Proctor and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drawing insights from gender studies and the environmental humanities, Demonic Bodies analyzes how ancient Christians constructed the Christian body through its relations to demonic adversaries. Case studies on New Testament texts, early Christian church fathers, and "Gnostic" writings trace how early followers of Jesus construed the demonic body in diverse and sometimes contradictory ways, as both embodied and bodiless, "fattened" and ethereal, heavenly and earthbound. Across this diversity of portrayals, however, demons consistently functiond as personfications of "deviant" bodily practices such as "magical" rituals, immoral sexual acts, gluttony, and "pagan" religious practices. This demonization served an exclusionary function whereby Christian writers marginalized fringe Christian groups by linking their ritual activities to demonic modes of (dis)embodiment. Demonic Bodies demonstrates, therefore, that the formation of early Christian cultures was part of the shaping of broader Christian "ecosystems," which in turn informed Christian experiences of their own embodiment and community"--
Book Synopsis Demonic Possession by : C. Torrington
Download or read book Demonic Possession written by C. Torrington and published by Arcturus Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-15 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of people possessed by evil spirits against their will is as old as the hills. Often there is thought to be a special way a person has become possessed. It might be the result of a curse cast on them by a sorcerer, or some unfortunate mishap such as stepping over a dead body. Or the demons can have been invited, in a Satanic ritual. More often, at least in recent Christian tradition, there is no initiating moment that can be identified - they just find their way in, like disease. From Pearl Curran, a housewife living in St Louis, Missouri, who soared to fame in the second decade of the 20th century as the amanuensis of 'Patience Worth', a writer who had died in the 17th century, to victims of Dissociative Personality Disorder (thought to have inspired Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde), this book examines demonic possession from every angle.
Book Synopsis The Demons of William James by : Tadd Ruetenik
Download or read book The Demons of William James written by Tadd Ruetenik and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-04 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a psychological exploration of unusual minds, a religious exploration of demonological myth, and a philosophical exploration of the reaches of pragmatism. It uses topics such as hypnotism, mediumship, and mass possession to argue for a comprehensive understanding of the demonic that acknowledges not only the creativity which it encourages, but also the danger it can bring. Professor Ruetenik uses James’ religious pragmatism to evaluate the relevance of psychical research, and to explain common beliefs regarding demons, spirits, and other controlling personalities. The conclusion of this interdisciplinary research is as alarming as it is fascinating: When exploring the demons of William James, we discover that ordinary personality cannot be clearly separated from what we consider the demonic.
Book Synopsis Demonic Possession in the New Testament by : William Menzies Alexander
Download or read book Demonic Possession in the New Testament written by William Menzies Alexander and published by Edinburgh : [s.n.]. This book was released on 1902 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demonic possession in the New Testament is still an unsolved problem. That statement is at variance with a considerable body of opinion recently expressed on two continents. Nevertheless, it is a correct representation of the present state of the case. Modern writers have attained a certain unanimity, only by approaching the subject from one point of view and confining attention to the more conspicuous phenomena. But any investigation which claims finality must explore the whole environment and scrutinise all residual facts. There is a comparative demonology to be studied; there are types of mental disease to be examined; there is a criterion of genuine possession to be discovered and applied. The inquiry thus broadens out and takes account of many points hitherto ignored or neglected. - Preface.
Book Synopsis Demons, the Devil, and Fallen Angels by : Marie D. Jones
Download or read book Demons, the Devil, and Fallen Angels written by Marie D. Jones and published by Visible Ink Press. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illuminating the Dark Side’s Spirits, Fiends, Devils, and Demons. Throughout human history, we have been obsessed with the dark opposites of God and angels, light, and mercy. Whether it is our religious and sacred texts, folklore and myths of old, legends, fairy tales, novels, or the movies and television shows of today, the dark entities enthrall us, terrify us, and remind us of the dualities of life. But where did they originate? Are they real? Does every religion or region of the world include them? Exploring over two dozen religious traditions, myths, folkloric and spiritual traditions, the world of the supernatural, and the demons, the Devil, and fallen angels in today’s pop culture, Demons, the Devil, and Fallen Angels is a comprehensive resource of the many faces of the devil, his minions, ominous deities, and the darker side of nature and ourselves. From ancient demon worship to modern Satanism, the bloody era of the Inquisitions and later witch burnings to the Satanic Panic of the late-twentieth century, and secret occult societies to Hitler's involvement with demonology, this book covers it all! You'll learn about the key figures in history associated with demons and the Devil, the worshiping of the dark forces, and the lives of Aleister Crowle, John Dee, and Anton LaVey, as well as well-known figures who were alleged Satanists, some of whom may surprise you! Also featured are dozens of examples of links between demons/fallen angels and aliens, cryptids, apparitions and poltergeists, and IDEs (interdimensional entities). Were the demons of the Bible possibly ancient alien visitors? Are alien abductions and poltergeists really demons in disguise? Is Slender Man a modern day demonic entity ... or totally fake? This fascinating look at Satan, evil spirits, and their 10,000-year history has 120 photographs, drawings, and illustrations to bring the portraits of over 200 demons and fallen angels to shivering life. Demons, the Devil, and Fallen Angels also includes a helpful bibliography and an extensive index, adding to its usefulness. It is a comprehensive, clear, and objective look at a subject that fills most people with fear and dread. Yet the presence of dark angels continues to remain a part of our human experience, our popular culture, and our spiritual understandings. Come and explore the shadowy side of existence and its integral part of our nature.
Book Synopsis The Science of Demons by : Jan Machielsen
Download or read book The Science of Demons written by Jan Machielsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Witches, ghosts, fairies. Premodern Europe was filled with strange creatures, with the devil lurking behind them all. But were his powers real? Did his powers have limits? Or were tales of the demonic all one grand illusion? Physicians, lawyers, and theologians at different times and places answered these questions differently and disagreed bitterly. The demonic took many forms in medieval and early modern Europe. By examining individual authors from across the continent, this book reveals the many purposes to which the devil could be put, both during the late medieval fight against heresy and during the age of Reformations. It explores what it was like to live with demons, and how careers and identities were constructed out of battles against them – or against those who granted them too much power. Together, contributors chart the history of the devil from his emergence during the 1300s as a threatening figure – who made pacts with human allies and appeared bodily – through to the comprehensive but controversial demonologies of the turn of the seventeenth century, when European witch-hunting entered its deadliest phase. This book is essential reading for all students and researchers of the history of the supernatural in medieval and early modern Europe.
Book Synopsis City of Demons by : Dayna S. Kalleres
Download or read book City of Demons written by Dayna S. Kalleres and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although it would appear in studies of late antique ecclesiastical authority and power that scholars have covered everything, an important aspect of the urban bishop has long been neglected: his role as demonologist and exorcist. When the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the realm, bishops and priests everywhere struggledÊ to ÒChristianizeÓ the urban spaces still dominated by Greco-Roman monuments and festivals. During this period of upheaval, when congregants seemingly attended everything but their own ÒorthodoxÓ church, many ecclesiastical leaders began simultaneously to promote aggressive and insidious depictions of the demonic. In City of Demons, Dayna S. Kalleres investigates this developing discourse and the church-sponsored rituals that went along with it, showing how shifting ecclesiastical demonologies and evolving practices of exorcism profoundly shaped Christian life in the fourth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satan is highly interested in putting fear, anxiety, and discouragement into your mind and soul. We're in a battle in this world and Satan is all out to destroy us, so you have to be vigilant and be at alert to defeat Him. The Bottom line is that you must not allow Him to win. Are you a believer that is not strong enough to face Satan, or you are afraid of Him? Then this book you are holding will give you the boldness to overcome Satan and Demons. Don't allow Satan and demons to hurt your direction. Remember that God reminds us in His word to stay aware of Satan's schemes, to be at alert in this world, and to stay close to Him. The prayer in this book is targeted towards not only defeating Satan and demons but, particularly overthrowing the kingdom of darkness. God has given us the sword, that is the word of God, to stand against the enemy's lies. He equips us with strength, wisdom, and discernment through His own Spirit to stay strong in the spiritual warfare battle. God always listens to us through prayer and worship and He gives us the opportunity to know Him more. With the word of God, we will be able to distinguish from what is right and wrong; hence Satan will find it difficult to deceive us. In this world, either you like it or not every human being has a supernatural enemy from various quarters who make life unbearable for people. Satan is regarded as our number one enemy. The Bible calls him ”the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world . . . the accuser” (Revelation 12:9–10), ”the ruler of this world” (John 12:31), and ”the god of this age” (2 Corinthians 4:4). Satan is a Deceiver Scriptures: Genesis 3:13: And the LORD God said to the woman, ”What is this you have done?” The woman said, ”The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” Ephesians 6:11-12: Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. How Satan can Deceive Believers Satan deceives the people of God. We all have our own natural desires and do you know what? Satan takes advantage of that to deceive Christians. Satan is very clever and knows the things that are appealing to believers. In some cases, Satan comes as an Angel of light with pleasant, flattering words and a smile on his face, and then it is very difficult for believers not to be deceived. Please note that Satan is very desperate and will continue to persist until He achieves his aims of leading people to his Kingdom, so, as a Christian, you must be vigilant and have full knowledge of the world of God. You have to make a decision today to serve God because you cannot serve both Satan and God. Strategies of Satan against you. Satan turns the minds of unbelievers against God so that they don't even think of worshiping the Almighty. Translator: Dr. Olusola Coker PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Book Synopsis Demons of Change by : Andrei A. Orlov
Download or read book Demons of Change written by Andrei A. Orlov and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antagonistic imagery has a striking presence in apocalyptic writings of Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity. In these visionary accounts, the role of the divine warrior fighting against demonic forces is often taken by a human adept, who becomes exalted and glorified as a result of his encounter with otherworldly antagonists, serving as a prerequisite for his final apotheosis. Demons of Change examines the meaning of these interactions for the transformations of the hero and antihero of early Jewish and Christian apocalyptic accounts. Andrei A. Orlov traces the roots of this trope to ancient Near Eastern traditions, paying special attention to the significance of conflict in the adept's ascent and apotheosis and to the formative value of these developments for Jewish and Christian martyrological accounts. This antagonistic tension plays a critical role both for the exaltation of the protagonist and for the demotion of his opponent. Orlov treats the motif of the hero's apotheosis in the midst of conflict in its full historical and interpretive complexity using a broad variety of Jewish sources, from the creational narratives of the Hebrew Bible to later Jewish mystical testimonies.
Book Synopsis Angels & Demons by : John R. Gilhooly
Download or read book Angels & Demons written by John R. Gilhooly and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2024-10-08 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians in Bible-believing churches often do not receive explicit teaching on angels because expositional sermons focus on the meaning of the text—and the biblical authors are rarely focused on discussing angels. The consequence is that legends or superstitions often cloud our reflections about supernatural beings. Pastors also rarely receive in-depth exposure to this subject in seminary. This book satisfies a need for teaching about the angels for a popular audience who want to speak and think biblically about the spiritual realm, especially because many books on angels teach speculative views or borrow their ideas from other religions of the ancient near east.
