Description

Explore the complex relationship between spiritual beliefs and child welfare in The Devil's Children: From Spirit Possession to Witchcraft. This academic work examines how beliefs regarding spirit possession and the power to bewitch others can lead to serious cases of child abuse. The text investigates how misfortune, illness, and even death are sometimes attributed to children, leading to deliverance practices that can involve violent means. This book provides a detailed look at modern deliverance versus traditional exorcism. It brings together expert contributions from leading academics and practitioners in the field to analyze these phenomena. Developed from conferences held by Inform, a charity dedicated to providing accurate information, this volume offers a scholarly perspective on the social and medical implications of these allegations.
