“In recent years, there has been an important emphasis and resurgence of deliverance ministry and related teaching materials. Some have been extremely helpful and others are either too vague or have no real connection to the Biblical ministry of Jesus. However, when I read “Redacted” I was immediately struck with not only a depth for Scriptural accuracy, I was shocked and amazed at how historically sound this book is laid out. It’s a masterpiece of a work and there is little room for argument once you realize how well articulated and accurately explained the issues really are. Not only is deliverance ministry here to stay. This book will prove to you that it has been here the entire time but the church simply chose to ignore and bury the facts. This book is a Bravo on this vital subject."-Greg Locke"David Miller has written a much-needed book about the neglected topic of deliverance and exorcism. His historical perspective is crucial to understanding the essentiality of incorporating spiritual warfare into church life. I have heavily marked and underlined my copy of Miller’s book because of the crucial information it contains. Readers will especially find interesting his detailing of exorcism in the Pre-Nicene and Nicene periods of church history. His is the best treatment I have read about exorcism as it relates to Reformation and Post-Reformation theological challenges. Of course, I was especially interested in the section regarding our ministry, about which Miller showed incisive understanding. Every Christian needs this book, both laity and clergy. I look forward to Miller’s future books. If they are as comprehensive and astute as this volume, the Christian community will be profoundly affected.”-Bob Larson, D.Div. Author and exorcist“I’ll be honest — I picked this up skeptical. Not of David, but of whether anyone could actually pull off what the title implies: a serious, honest walk through twenty centuries of exorcism history without either sensationalizing it or sanitizing it. David Miller does both things I didn't expect — he keeps it grounded, and he doesn't flinch. The reality is that Christians have been casting out demons, debating whether Christians can have demons, watching that ministry get suppressed, and then rediscovering it from scratch — over and over again. David documents that cycle with enough historical detail that you can't just wave it away. The pattern is too consistent to be coincidence.We don't need to start at ground zero every twenty years. There's real wisdom in the people who came before us — people who made mistakes, yes, but also people who figured some things out. Eat the meat, spit out the bones. That's always been how this works. But you can't eat what you don't know exists, and for most Western Christians, this history has effectively been buried. While I may moderately disagree with minor nuances here and there, his major premise — that the history of deliverance ministry has been consistently redacted with prejudice, and that the Church is worse off for it — I think he's right, and he makes that case well. This is the kind of book that earns its conclusions, and that's increasingly rare. I'm glad David wrote it.”-Joshua Lewis, Remnant Radio
