“What is the occult?”

People are fascinated by the occult—from depictions of ghosts and spirits in movies and TV shows to fortune tellers and Tarot cards. But what exactly is it? Do horoscopes and astrology fall under that broad category? What else is considered “the occult,” and why should you avoid it as a Christian?

In the Bible, God asked his people through the prophet Isaiah why they consulted mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter (or as the King James Version puts it: “Wizards that peep and mutter”). He urged them to turn only to him for answers to their problems and to be aware of the dangers they faced by interacting with the occult.

This compelling book takes Christian readers into the taboo world of the occult—which is still very much alive to this day—so that you are aware of its dangers. Author and Pastor Siegbert Becker examines what the Bible has to say about occult practices and provides modern examples of them, including:

• Divination
• Fortune telling
• Witchcraft
• Demon possession
• Magic
• Satanism

A powerful writer and compelling preacher, Becker presents you with your best defense against the occult and how to avoid its enticing allure: The gospel of God’s redeeming love in Christ who came to destroy all the works of the devil.

Dr. Siegbert Becker served the last part of his pastoral career at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, WI. Previously he had served in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. He authored many articles on the doctrine of justification, and many books including one on the place of reason in the theology of Martin Luther, a commentary on Revelation, and a collection of sermons.
