| Σύνοψη: | Beliefs that human distress may be caused by demon possession have a long history and are very common around the world. They have been the subject of research across multiple academic disciplines and are a topic of theological as well as medical and scientific controversy. It is proposed that the theological diversity of perspectives may helpfully be represented as a spectrum of views ranging from theological realism to theological purity, with a middle ground of theological complexity. The range of interdisciplinary perspectives may also be represented using a spectrum model, incorporating anthropology, psychiatry, psychology and theology. This approach emphasises a practical, collaborative, and inter-professional approach to deliverance ministry within the Christian tradition. |
