More about the book

Exploring the sociological dimensions of exorcism, the book analyzes its resurgence and influence within diverse communities. It posits that exorcism has transformed into a religious commodity that enhances a religion's appeal and reinforces its influence. In a landscape of competing faiths, religious groups strive for authority over supernatural claims by uniquely branding their exorcism rituals, thereby legitimizing their belief systems amidst the competition.
