Reviving Old Scratch by Richard Beck
A thoughtful blend of cultural history, clinical case studies, and theological reflection that reconsiders how Western society understands evil and mental disturbance; the book traces how talk of demons and possession has shifted into psychiatric language, examines notable possession cases, critiques reductionist explanations, and argues for restoring a nuanced, metaphorically rich vocabulary that can hold both spiritual and psychological realities for pastoral care and moral reflection.
