Good Spirits, Bad Spirits


Book Description

Good Spirits, Bad Spirits—How to Distinguish Between Them is an explanation of the invisible world of occult spirits, variously known in the New Age as “channeled Spirits,” spirits from God, God himself, spirits of sorcery or magic, and prophetic spirits. Good Spirits gives the reader a broad overview of occult spirit Intentionality embodied in hidden goals and multi-generational plans. Given the benefit of an eternity in which to achieve their goals, occult spirits have honed the tricks of their supernatural trade to a fine art, the art of persuading humans. This skill is evident in channeled books such as Conversations with God and Messages from the Masters. Through channeling and other means of contact such as the “harmless” ouija board, occult spirits can wage spiritual and sometimes physical destruction in the lives of ordinary individuals. The purpose of the spirits are most easily achieved through their creation of the famous personality, whom they shepherd from childhood. By lending their human agents the use of apparent occult powers, such as contacting of “the dead” and foreseeing the future, the spirits are able to spread their influence over the many, while concealing their own malicious motives.

Pentecostalism and Politics of Conversion in India


Book Description

This book studies the politics of Pentecostal conversion and anti-Christian violence in India. It asks: why has India been experiencing increasing incidents of anti-Christian violence since the 1990s? Why are the Bhil Adivasis increasingly converting to Pentecostalism? And, what are the implications of conversion for religion within indigenous communities on the one hand and broader issues of secularism, religious freedom and democratic rights on the other? Drawing on extended ethnographic fieldwork amongst the Bhils of Northern India since 2006, this book asserts that ideological incompatibility and antagonism between Christian missionaries and Hindu nationalists provide only a partial explanation for anti-Christian violence in India. It unravels the complex interactions between different actors/ agents in the production of anti-Christian violence and provides detailed ethnographic narratives on Pentecostal conversion, Hindu nationalist politics and anti-Christian violence in the largest state of India that has hitherto been dominated by upper caste Rajput Hindu(tva) ideology.
