5.0 out of 5 stars Biblical Demonology, August 30, 2001

By	Charles E. Pyke - See all my reviews

Very academic. Written by a well educated man of god. Scripturally accurate. Excellent exposition on the doctrine of demonolgy. If you are of the charasmatic bent or want to rid demons from your city, you will be disappointed. If you are seeking truth in regard to this doctrine, get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid theoloogy on demons, divination and like subjects, February 22, 2008

By	William Polm "bill197" (Southern California, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There's a lot going on, on TV in novels, all over the place. The supernatural has made a comeback, in spite of science, etc. I wanted a conservative biblical discussion of just what we can count on as accurate theological knowledge concerning these things. Merrill F. Unger has provided that. An interesting read and great reference.

4.0 out of 5 stars So thorough, August 27, 2007

By	M. J. Keel (Somewhere in the Far East) - See all my reviews

This is such a thorough treatment of the subject that I left with very few unanswered questions. Some of those questions have to do with modern demon posession, which he touches on, but not deeply.

Unger grounds his study deeply in the Old and New Testaments giving us a breadth and depth of insight on the war going on behind the scenes since the Fall. If the bible does not cover the topic it is not in this book, and I love that. Far too often sensationalists write to solve problems and address situations using scripture that does not apply. The only weakness I find with this great resource is its dispensational presuppositions concerning the Last Days, but that is a small thing. Over all this is a book that would benefit every Christian.
