There seem to have been a multitude of demons during Jesus’ time on earth and during the time of the apostles. Does anyone see them today? Was there something unique about that time, or have we become blind to demons in our modern time? Apparently both Jews and Greeks knew, better than we, that demons lived in hiding places and exercised their influence in this world. People in Africa in the 20th century also know it much better that we in Europe.

We can describe the working of demons in a broad way: demons are in the service of God’s opponent and take action against human beings. They can do so by employing people as instruments against God (apostates), or by tormenting them and, through them, their environment. We want to explore the latter in greater detail, by examining the relationship between illness and unclean spirits.

Readers of the Bible in the twentieth century will have much difficulty in identifying themselves with what is happening in those stories. When people today read the stories of demons being driven out, many will ask an entirely different question, namely, who are these demons? The bystanders accepted the demons as a given reality and they looked up to Jesus. In contrast, Christians in the twentieth century who accepted Jesus as Lord, wonder about the demons in the gospels.
