What reading level is Demon Possession And Allied Themes; Being An Inductive Study of Phenomena of Our Own Times book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even where the devil's agency has been plainly seen and acknowledged, men have been totally deceived as to the real direction and character of his operation, and have thus become his ready prey.
Were it not well to substitute "devil-craft" for "witchcraft;" to believe in the Bible doctrine of Satan as an actual and personal enemy? Had the courts in Salem proceeded on the Scriptural presumption that the testimony of those under the control of evil spirits would, in the nature of the case, be fal...se, such a thing as the Salem tragedy would never have been known.
It is possible that the definition is at fault which conveys the popular conception of a witch and witchcraft. If we should broaden the defi- nition, and say that a witch is a person in collu- sion, either voluntary or enforced, with a demon; and witchcraft is whatever act or art such a person may practice in the proper character of a witch — then real witchcraft would seem not to be wanting. In this case we need not assume that the witch has necessarily made a deliberate, formal and voluntary compact with the devil; nor yet that the witch, in her own person, freely designs to inflict an injury upon others.
