Deliver us from Evil cover

Of all the array of different ministries within the church, it is perhaps deliverance ministry which causes the most concern and confusion, and yet it is also the one most critical to understand in order to practice well. Drawing on an array of disciplines, including practical theology, biblical theology and systematics, this book brings together leading thinkers in their fields to consider the role of deliverance ministry in the life of the church today.

"This book offers a profound set of insights into the question of how the Church can approach the complexities of the Ministry of Deliverance. I commend it for the breadth of its perspectives, covering ground-breaking research into issues of mental health and vulnerabilities, as well as anthropological and societal questions, together with serious engagement with scripture and tradition. Its authors are leading specialists and practitioners in their fields, all of which bear directly on the question of practical Christian responses to the increasing demand for the Ministry of Deliverance, and together they have produced a resource of outstanding value for our own moment." -- Peter Eagles
"This is a highly informative and engaging collection of essays: anyone who is interested in the practice and theology of deliverance ministry will need to read it." -- Jason Bray
