Synopsis

Unraveling demonism through science and history, this work explains how hypnotic suggestion and social forces shape belief and behavior.

Hugh Watt White surveys demonism with a careful, science-minded approach. The book traces ideas about spirits, possession, and psychology across cultures, then shows how auto-hypnotization and suggestion can create powerful, real experiences. It blends case material with clear explanations of how environment, religion, and mental processes interact to influence human belief and behavior.

  • Explore how suggestion and fear can affect perception and mood.
  • Learn how early experiences, family history, and culture shape beliefs about demons and illness.
  • See how medical and psychological perspectives intersect with religious ideas.
  • Discover arguments about the role of religion in social healing and prevention.

Ideal for curious readers of science, psychology, and history who want a grounded view of demonism and its explanations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Modern Christian civilization has been freed from medievalism -with its demons and witchcraft. An unanticipated by-product of missionary work is the unique opportunity of applying modern methods to the study of conditions, such as prevailed in past history. This book was not premeditated. Compelled to come in contact with the demonized, the author found it a necessity to work out the principles underlying the subject. I f, thereby, something is done towards unraveling history, towards bringing the spirit world out of the region of the mystic, and into the range of comprehension, of definition, the result will be a distinct advance for scholarship, and Christianity will be stronger than ever. And it is appalling to find that the larger part of the world yet welters in this misery, from which we have been delivered. The very enlightenment of civilization has hitherto barred the door to recognition, and investigation of the subject of demonism. Out of consideration for readers difficulties with Chinese names, the cases are referred to by their numbers in the authors records. If called for, these records can be published later. Hugh W. White.
