Even the demons submit:
Continuing Jesus' ministry of deliverance
Loren L. Johns and James M. Krabill, editors
“Even the Demons Submit is a
real page turner. I found several of the pieces particularly fascinating, as authors
opened themselves cautiously to new understandings, through comparison with their
already espoused fields of interest.”
—Galen Johns, retired executive
secretary, Indiana-Michigan Mennonite Conference
“The Christian community
has needed a book on spiritual warfare like this for a long time. The combination
of case studies, multidisciplinary analysis of the topic, and warm-spirited dialogue
makes this an exceptionally helpful resource.”
—Clinton E. Arnold,
Professor of New Testament, Talbot School of Theology (Biola University)
Demonic oppression? Mental illness? What would it look like if deliverance ministers, psychologists, pastors, biblical scholars, missiologists, anthropologists, and people who have experienced deliverance and healing were to compare notes, tell their stories, and try to learn from one another? This book aims to reflect that conversation and promote further conversation.
The diversity of the book is an attempt to honor the complexity of the issue. In Even the Demons Submit, you will find not only different points of view but also different kinds of material. Some essays are articulated with scholarly care, and others are reflections from a pastoral heart. There are stories and case studies. Some of the contributions are intensely personal, and others step back to offer a larger perspective on the matter.
If you are looking for a simple how-to manual, this book is not for you. If you are looking for an easy answer, this book is not for you. But if you want to participate in conversation about the hard and holy work of partnering with God in the battle against evil, you will find much to ponder here.
