Originally written as a master's thesis in 1972, A Manual of Demonology and the Occult was published by Zondervan Publishing House in 1973. Its publication sparked a large wave of people seeking relief from demonic oppression to descend upon Pastor Philpott and his congregation in Marin County, CA. This reprint is still timely to bring much needed attention to the problems caused when a culture "dabbles" then becomes committedly engaged in occult practices. Because "contemporary occultism" is ubiquitous in 2021, many are suffering and need the biblical information and approaches to deliverance that this manual offers. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter help focus the reader.
Philpott outlines various approaches in understanding the demonic and the problems of interpreting biblical material on the subject, including the problem of theodicy (how can a good God allow evil in the world) as found in both the Hebrew and Greek scriptures. Other subjects include the origin and nature of demons, the allure of immorality, power, and knowledge, the need for submission to God and resistance to the devil, and more. Included is a selected glossary and listing of biblical passages related to demonology. This book, in collection with two related volumes-Deliver Us from Evil and Deliverance Handbook-are all the Christian lay minister needs to equip and under gird deliverance work.
My research focuses on nineteenth and early twentieth-century Russian social and cultural history, and I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary approaches. I have worked on the history of popular religion, and its connection with modern ideas about science. My current project about Russian amateur musical culture allows me to focus on material culture, gender, sociability, and regional history. One focus of this project is Russia's Perm province, whose capital Perm is Oxford's twin city!
My research centers on the cultural history of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Russia. I am particularly interested in private experience, in belief and its relationship to science, and in amateur musical practice. My work is situated at the intersection of various disciplines, including history, literary criticism, religious studies, musicology, anthropology, and folklore.
My interest in occultism has also lead me to explore the history of science, in particular the history of hypnosis in late-imperial and early-Soviet Russia. This research has brought into sharp relief the intellectual and cultural continuities that existed across the divide of 1917.
Currently, I am working on a project devoted to amateur music making in nineteenth-century provincial Russia. As historians have frequently noted, music was of great significance for nineteenth-century culture. Yet if music plays a significant role in the fullness of human experience, we also need to analyze the less polished musical activities of average people, which in the Russian context have hardly been recognized. This project aims to investigate social interactions, the material culture, and the construction of gender relations as promoted through music in a provincial setting.
"Modern Occultism in Late Imperial Russia" traces the history of occult thought and practice from its origins in private salons to its popularity in turn-of-the-century mass culture. In lucid prose, Julia Mannherz examines the ferocious public debates of the 1870s on higher dimensional mathematics and the workings of seance phenomena, discusses the world of cheap instruction manuals and popular occult journals, and looks at haunted houses, which brought together the rural settings and the urban masses that obsessed over them.
Meanwhile, Henry Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim had produced his Occult Philosophy (1533), the first summary of the subject after two books, both printed in the late 1480s, had transformed it. We know little about Heinrich Kramer and Jakob Sprenger, the authors of the Hammer of Witches, but their book became notorious. Written in Latin for priests and lawyers, it is a technical manual for interrogating witches and putting them on trial. The Hammer was reproduced in thirty editions, propagating the very thing that it was meant to stop. Partly because of this book, European witchcraft persecutions peaked not in the Middle Ages but in the early moments of the Scientific Revolution: Matthew Hopkins published his Discovery of Witches ten years after Ren Descartes had proposed a new way to do science in his Discourse of 1637.

Il corso intende favorire negli studenti una maggiore familiarit con: il lessico specialistico della critica letteraria; i maggiori esponenti e i principali periodi della Storia della letteratura, con un interesse specifico per il periodo storico che procede dalle origini al secolo XX.
Alla fine del corso, gli studenti avranno acquisito un alto livello di comprensione e consapevolezza teoriche e metodologiche per quanto concerne lo studio del trattamento letterario dell'alchimia, le problematiche inerenti il rapporto tra il linguaggio magico-esoterico e la specificit della comunicazione artistica, il potere della parola, il processo di simbolizzazione psicologica e culturale, linguistica essenzialista e convenzionalista.
At the end of this course, students will be expected to achieve a high level of understanding and comprehension of the theoretical principles, study fields and methodological approaches relating to the relationship between Alchemy and British literary history. Students will be encouraged to employ these theoretical and methodological instruments to properly contextualize and investigate a wider range of literary works and theoretical questions, such as the relationship between artistic communication and magical language, the power of words, cultural and psychological symbolization, essentialist and conventionalist linguistics.
