Author Description

Demon Possession—the words resound with an ominous foreboding that conjures scenes of diabolical phenomena. The strange occurrences associated with possession have collected in our minds, garnered from books and movies that have exploited the subject a great deal and sometimes to great success. Demon possession is not just a subject of spine-tingling fiction; it is a biblical subject prominent in the New Testament and worthy of serious study and consideration. Derived from ‘Demon Possession and Allied Themes’ this book, ‘Demon Possession and Divine Deliverance,’ brings forward stories of possession and deliverance as recorded by noted author and China missionary Dr. John Livingston Nevius. In this new book, Dr. Nevius’ intriguing stories are presented in a fresh readable, accessible style.The style in which Dr. Nevius wrote his book, while instructive, employed writing and word usage that seems outdated today making it difficult to read. Often, trying to figure out what Dr. Nevius is saying is like working out a puzzle. This new book, ‘Demon Possession and Divine Deliverance,’ was derived from Dr. Nevius’ useful material, but written in an updated style with material from Nevius’ book edited and revised.
