13 It is informative to see the similarities between Rev. White’s view of possession and exorcism and the view of M. Scott Peck, whose books on evil have become best-sellers. See especially Peck’s chapter 5, “Of Possession and Exorcism” in his People of the Lie, (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1983).
