It argues that exorcism has become a religious commodity with the potential to strengthen a religion's attraction to adherents, whilst also ensuring its hold. It shows that due to intense competition between religious groups in our multi-faith societies, religious groups are now competing for authority over the supernatural by 'branding' their particular type of exorcism ritual in order to validate the strength of their own belief system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSociology of Exorcism in Late Modernity \u003c\/i\u003efeatures a detailed case-study of a Catholic exorcist in the south of Europe who dealt with more than 1,000 cases during a decade of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giuseppe Giordan,Adam Possamai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319717723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319717722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.50d","brand":"Giuseppe Giordan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089105137919,"sku":"9783319717722","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3a3106a-232c-4078-b869-eabd57823f3e.jpg?v=1769108213","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sociology-of-exorcism-in-late-giuseppe-giordan-9783319717722","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
