With The Fine Line Between Demonic Influence and Illnesses, Dr. S. R. Campos delves into the complicated message of the Christian gospels. He disputes the widespread consensus among leaders of the Church. There is, he argues, a real and urgent pastoral responsibility to address demonic possession and oppression in the world.

Recent advancements in medicine have found materialist causes for conditions which for centuries of church history were taken to be instances of possession. Epilepsy and schizophrenia are real conditions, and it is important that those inflicted are treated medically. Yet Dr. Campos asserts that demonic influence is also real. Christian believers who don’t wish to pick and choose from the Bible according to their convenience must wrestle with the testimony of the gospels—several of Jesus’ miracles involved the casting out of demons. Dr. Campos draws on his years of experience in deliverance ministry, to show the reader the differences between medical illness and possession. He does so in order to establish a precedent for ministering which is respectful of medical science, but which doesn’t turn its face from the true spiritual presence of evil in the world.
