[Anthropological Dimensions of Demon Belief]
Demon belief, possession and exorcisms seem exotic and foreign to us. And yet they are encountered in almost all cultures and at all historically tangible times. They seem closely connected to being human. It is therefore worthwhile to shed light on the anthropological dimensions of demon belief. The contributions in this volume therefore ask constantly about the significance of demon belief and possession for human beings. Together with the thematic issue 'Demons' (4/2022) of the 'Ökumenische Rundschau', this volume presents the results of a conference held in October 2021 at the Institute for Protestant Theology and Religious Education at the Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg. The contributions were written by representatives of all theological disciplines as well as of religious studies and of English studies.
