This treatise examines demoniacal influence, the nature and influence of Satan, spiritual apparitions, and the work of angels. Joseph Frederic Berg (1812-1871) was a German-born Reformed clergyman who immigrated to the U.S. For its treatment of the nature of the Devil it is of interest even to those (namely occultists) who may not fully agree with its moral summations. Contents include: Satan, The Enemy; Satan, a False God; The Ministry of Angels; Heavenly Hierarchy; and more. Wear to original embossed boards, with browning to spine and most of the cloth faded or soiled; chips to spine ends and head of the front joint; normal toning to pages; penciled signature of North Carolina bookseller Helen Martha Wilson of front endpaper.
