Description
Summary:Page's (1989) apology for taking seriously the role of the demonic in our counseling ministries is courageous in its call for a reexamination of biblical teachings. The article, however, seems to lack a central and unifying view of the precise nature of these phenomena. Several intriguing suggestions by Page are only minimally elaborated. Missing from the article are a set of criteria which one could use in differential diagnosis, and a method of reasoning which would help determine if direct demonic activity is or is not involved.
