The story behind Exorcism

Britannica describes exorcism as a religious practice of expelling evil spirits, found in many traditions.

The spiritual meaning of Exorcism

Spiritually, Exorcism asks how authority must be joined to humility, care, and safeguards.

Exorcism in the Bible

The Gospels portray Jesus delivering people with authority, but that does not authorize untrained or sensational practices.

Why Exorcism matters

Exorcism matters because it is historically real in many religions, but unsafe imitation can cause serious harm.
