I sat with
Neil T Anderson who is arguably the most read author on the issue of
Spiritual Warfare. This video is the unedited raw interview shot for a new documentary film called "Battling
Darkness:
Hollywood & the
Rise of
Exorcism"
In this revealing documentary, leading voices from Hollywood and the
Christian community, as well as psychologists and modern-day exorcists, discuss the mysteries of the demonic realm. Through a
Biblical understanding and first-hand accounts, the film provides insights into the reality of spiritual warfare and offers keys to victory when you find yourself Battling Darkness.
Prior to
1973,
Satan seemed all but dead and gone, the casualty of a modernist mindset. But with
Linda Blair's disturbing performance in
The Exorcist, Satan returned with a vengeance. Since that landmark film, audiences worldwide have been fascinated with movies about demonic possession and the spirit realm. However, given Hollywood's tendency to take creative license, the question arises, "Is the visage of Satan now presented Biblical or distorted?" And more importantly, how have these images influenced society's consideration of both the demonic and spiritual warfare?
Battling Darkness is a thought-provoking documentary that examines these questions with objectivity and insight from psychologists, modern-day exorcists and leading voices in
Christianity.
