Trade Review
This is an academic study of a subject that is much too important to be left to the fertile imagination of a sub-genre of horror fiction. * Anvil Journal *
Young’s book is a significant contribution to the history of the Anglican Church and to the literature on exorcism and demonology. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty. * R. M. Kollar, St. Vincent College, CHOICE *
