Spirit beings are fascinating. They can be wicked, good, of dual
nature, or non-existent. They announce, accompany, heal, injure,
sway, charm, fight, tempt and judge. They can bring us closer to,
or distract us from, God. In this volume, the particular focus is
on how angelic and demonic concepts are overtly expressed, or are
more obliquely reflected, in different religions. Specific themes
covered include spiritual warfare, spirit beings and the origin of
evil, angelic and demonic roles, human suffering and spiritual
powers, use of talismans, sacred texts, and the practical
outworking of beliefs. The contributors - all Christian scholars -
mostly write as detached observers of the religious traditions they
are describing. Nevertheless, they do not shy away from taking a
stand on controversial issues. Here you will find a great diversity
of thought, some striking thematic similarities, and a fascinating
view of worlds far removed from our usual experience. The
contributors are Allen Anderson, Andy Bannister, Ruth Bradby, Keith
Ferdinando, Theodore Gabriel, Chris Gnanakan, Willam Kay, Bill
Musk, Martin Parsons, Chris Partridge, Peter Riddell, Nigel
Scotland and Amy Summers-Minette.
