The growing contemporary interest in spirit possession prompted scholars to explore the reality of spirit possession in Oceania today. The first section of this volumes draws on the experience of those involved in pastoral ministry with people who believe they are possessed, or those whose particular research interests are the relationship of faith, culture, and praxis. In the second section, the function and place of spirit language in the biblical texts is examined, while in the last section the focus is broader, addressing some of the historical responses to spirit possession, as well as emerging pneumatologies of good and bad spirits and their impact on the human condition.
