It brings together anthropology, medical thinking, and biblical study to illuminate how first‑century interpretations influenced who was understood as possessed and how those cases were treated.

It places historical context alongside careful analysis of gospel narratives, offering a nuanced view of possession in the New Testament.

How medical and theological explanations interacted in early interpretations
Close readings of major narratives and the questions they raise about truth and belief

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the controversial subject of demonic possession as it is presented in the New Testament. The author delves into the rich history of demonology within Jewish culture, tracing the development of these ideas from the Old Testament through the writings of the Rabbis. The book then examines the medical aspects of possession, exploring the potential connection between mental illness and demonic influence, and comparing the approaches to treatment in the time of Jesus with contemporary practices. A key element of the author's argument is the distinction between mere illness and genuine demonic possession, revealing the supernatural dimension to this phenomenon. By examining the specific narratives in the Gospels, the author identifies a "residual factor" that points towards a spiritual dimension beyond mere physical ailment. The book ultimately seeks to understand the true nature of possession, its causes and consequences, and the significance of Jesus's teachings and actions in relation to this complex issue. This work presents a unique and thought -provoking analysis of demonic possession, offering a fresh perspective on a topic that has long fascinated and perplexed readers of the Bible.
