Walter Scott (1779 1858), President and Theological Tutor at
Airedale College in Bradford, delivered a series of lectures on the
occult at the Congregational Library, London, in 1841. This 1843
volume is a collection of Scott's lectures, in which he employs
scriptural and testimonial evidence to support his claim that evil
spirits exist. Scott describes the character and behaviour of evil
spirits and the methods they employ to contact and influence
humans; for example witchcraft, divination, possession and
temptation. Scott draws on Jewish and ancient Egyptian literature,
as well as accounts of the oracles of classical antiquity to
illustrate his thesis, as well as numerous anecdotes from famous
cases like the Salem witch trials. A passionate and colourful
example of non-conformist Christian thought on the occult, and on
the significance of what Scott explains are 'fallen angels who were
transformed by their own wilful rebellion and apostasy into
demons'.
