Demons and Politics

Demons and Politics by Andrew Perry is a second edition monograph published by Lulu Press, Incorporated on June 18, 2007. This 74-page work presents an analysis of Mark’s portrayal of exorcism through a political lens, arguing that Mark viewed Jesus’ exorcisms as a symbolic representation of the cleansing of the people. The text explores how Mark’s narrative diverges from the cosmological dualism prevalent during his time, suggesting that the language used serves to reflect the spiritual and political conditions of the people.

Readers will find a focused examination of the intersection between religion and politics, particularly within the context of Christianity. The book delves into the implications of exorcism as depicted in Mark’s writings, offering insights into the socio-political landscape of the era. This edition, written in English, invites readers to consider the broader meanings behind the actions of Jesus as portrayed in the Gospel of Mark, emphasizing the significance of these events beyond mere spiritual interpretations.
