Demonology, Deliverance, and the Psychology of Religion

 


Demonology. The study of devils and demons, which often includes fallen angels, witches, curses, and other practices.

Many religious traditions include supernatural beings believed to interact with human beings in harmful ways. The belief in demons varies with the religious group and with individuals but the beliefs are widely held throughout the world.

Deliverance or exorcism are ways religious people rid themselves of the influence of supernatural beings. The practice usually includes prayer along with other procedures.
