- "At a time when there is increasing, and too often unhealthy, interest in witchcraft, magic, and the occult, it is important that the Church should have a clear mind about the spiritual casualties so often involved and how to deal with them. A commission was appointed by the Bishop of Exeter to inquire into the history and practice of Exorcism as a function of the Christian ministry and their report is printed here, supported by an introductory essay on `Exorcism in the New Testament' by Fr. J. Crehan, S.J., and by a number of forms of service and prayer for the various occasions of exorcism and spiritual healing. Edited by Dom Robert Petitpierre (an Anglican Benedictine monk, who has experience in these matters, and has on occasion made broadcasts about them) this book will bring welcome help not only to the clergy but also to doctors, psychiatrists, social workers, and others concerned with these problems". -- back cover.
