Summary: | The focus of this article is on some of the lay and secular popular literature that supports belief in satanic ritual abuse. The effects of SRA “survivor” stories and the importance of historical perspective on the SRA phenomenon are discussed. The approach of Christian investigative writing underpinning the article is that believers should promote a higher, not lower standard than the secular press. Biblical and common sense principles are enunciated for the sorting out of truth from untruth in relation to SRA sensationalism. |
