Opis

The main purpose of this study was to find possibilities to reduce the discrepancies in questions about demonization and exorcism, especially through a better understanding of the nature of demonization. Four different research methods were used to find answers for these disputed questions: a research in related literature, a systematic theology approach, presentation of a deliverance ministry, and interviews of people having experienced demonization and deliverance. The research suggests that a convergence in the answers for these questions may be achieved by an increase in the exchange of experiences, especially across different cultures, combined with a new definition of demonization as demonic control, comporting with the biblical doctrine and narratives, as well as with the experiences of demonized people. The cross-cultural experience exchange is additionally emphasized in this study by purposely selecting a non-Western deliverance ministry as the one to be presented.
