Satan, Exorcism and Spirituality. This book written by Rev. Dr. Thomas Vazhacharickal is truly outstanding in its scope , depth and brilliance. The book is perhaps, the first of its kind in world literature, treating the topic of exorcism in such a scholarly manner. The book is timely. When fake God- men are rampant exploiting and misleading people instilling fear in the devotees regarding curses and punishments, this book is an eye opener. It is also unique in many ways. It is a masterly Ph.D. dissertation on a topic set aside by many modern scholars as unworthy of serious treatment – the topic of exorcism. The study is exhaustive. The topic is treated on a large canvas, investigating into the realms of spirituality, Satanology and Exorcism from five of the major religions of the world – Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism and Christianity. It is said ,”The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.” The cosmic warfare between the good and evil, between God and Satan, leave many of us utterly confused and absolutely tortured. In short , this book is an innovative study of a much neglected area of theology and spirituality. The author states that Satanology, Exorcism and Spirituality constitute an inseparable triad. The book is indeed a great help to those who want to lead a good human life. The book is extremely well edited, and the production standard is of international class. Wonder of wonder it is, that such a remarkably scholarly book with such high editorial and production standards should come out from the hands of a humble parish priest of a remote village in the Cardamom Hills of Kerala! I have no doubt that this book will soon adorn the library shelves of major Universities of the world.JMV Lt. Col.
