Koch, the book approaches occultism not as folklore or entertainment but as a genuine spiritual danger. Fortune-telling, magic, spiritism, parapsychology and mediumship are discussed alongside demonic possession, spiritual warfare and methods of Christian “deliverance.” Koch attempts to distinguish psychiatric and medical conditions from what he regarded as supernatural affliction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contents are incredible: \u003cstrong\u003e“Occult Subjection,” “Possession,” “The Return of Evil Spirits,” “The Weapons of His Warfare,”\u003c\/strong\u003e and an entire section asking whether schizophrenia, epilepsy, depression, neurosis, psychopathy and dementia might be demonic in origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis copy has clearly been \u003cstrong\u003eread and engaged with\u003c\/strong\u003e. Numerous passages have been highlighted and there are reader markings throughout. Given the nature of the book, it was written as guidance for Christians counseling people believed to be affected by occult practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is something wonderfully unsettling about finding another person's emphasis preserved in a book concerned with demons, possession and deliverance.
