Despite these comments, Twelftree's case for the place and practice of exorcism among early Christians is convincing overall and a must-read for anyone interested in the subject. This book is not for the faint-hearted since the argument is often elaborate and technical, sometimes to the point of tedium, but it is undoubtedly the best academic work on the subject. I highly recommend the book to those who wish to delve deeper into the issue of exorcism to understand its nature and place in the church-then and now.
To many in the church in the West, exorcism seems like the stuff of movies. It requires acceptance of the premise that evil spirits exist and can invade, control, and impair the health of an individual and that the individual can, in turn, be cured through someone forcing the evil spirits to leave. "For the vast majority of biblical scholars," asserts Graham H. Twelftree, "this is tantamount to believing in such entities as elves, dragons, or a flat earth." But for Christians throughout the world--especially the developing world--exorcism is an important part of the freedom that can be had through faith. In the Name of Jesus is the only book that explores this common part of ministry in the early church. This reliable and historical discussion provides church leaders, Bible students, pastors, and scholars with an intriguing and unique resource. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
