There’s no denying the powerful attraction of evil. Pop culture blockbusters like The Exorcist and Rosemary’s Baby, and their many recent successors, are but a snapshot of the appeal.
What are the biblical facts about evil, demonic possession, the exorcisms by Jesus?
How can everyday folks recognize and avoid the snares of Satan?
In Get Thee behind Me, Satan: Rejecting Evil, I draw on my experience as a priest and college president and professor, to share religious studies as a helpful guide for preachers, catechists, and laypersons. The book offers a unique reader-friendly look at church history, biblical sources and understandings of Satan, exorcisms, the “kingdom of God,” faith formation, and keeping the devil away.
It can be used as a companion to Pope Francis’ book on “rebuking the devil” which is a collection of the Holy Father’s talks. My book gives the reader direct citations of biblical passages related to the topic, plus more contemporary insights.
