Why We Need the Demonic
An enduring feature of Christian religious life has been the experience of the demonic. This experience can be found in the New Testament, most obviously in reported encounters with demons, but more centrally in the language of spiritual warfare that pervades much of the Pauline literature.

However, in modern times an increasing divide has separated science and religion. A careful review suggests that currents and accidents in intellectual and social history have served to unnecessarily foreclose lines of thought that might lead to rapprochement of religion with science, including psychology.

The first theme is the need to respect the unique worldviews of today's religions and treat them as equal partners in dialogue. Too often, we believe, the and scientism of psychology are viewed as ne…
