Daemonologia Sacra

First published in the 17th century, Richard Gilpin’s Daemonologia Sacra is a powerful theological treatise on the reality and operations of the Devil. In a time when the unseen world was believed to press dangerously close upon human life, Gilpin set out to expose the strategies, deceptions, and malice of demonic powers, offering both warning and remedy to the faithful.

With the precision of a minister and the urgency of a soldier of faith, Gilpin describes how Satan works through temptation, corruption, and spiritual bondage. Yet this is more than a catalogue of terrors—it is also a manual of resistance, prescribing the weapons of prayer, vigilance, and divine truth by which the adversary may be overcome.

Part demonology, part pastoral guide, Daemonologia Sacra endures as a landmark text in the literature of spiritual warfare, a sober reminder that the Devil was seen not as myth, but as a present, cunning, and relentless foe.
