The development of the views and practices of the church during the Middle Ages, the Reformation and early post-Reformation times with regard to the demonic and especially the question of possession and exorcism is marked both by continuity and discontinuity in relation to the New Testament and the early church as presented in Dr. Skarsaune’s paper. In this brief historical overview of the period of the Middle Ages up until the 19th century we shall primarily concentrate on the questions that were raised in the first paper. To deal with the problem of evil and the church’s response to it in all its aspects would lead us beyond the confines of this paper.
