Editorial Review:
Although he did not know it at the time, the author of this book, King James, was to become one of the most influential people in mankind's religious history. He was responsible for the widely accepted King James Bible, based in part on the beliefs set forth in this book. Written directly by his own hand, it is shown that he believed himself to be an instrument of God. He believed in Satan and that his mission was to seek out and kill "witches" (the Devil's ministers). He was convinced that they had tried to cast spells and kill him on numerous occasions. This book provides the reader with an interesting psychological profile of this man -- revealing his mindset and the tactics used to hold sway over his people.

Rating:  - A long ago purchase
I bought this a long time ago. I don't know what I was thinking. The book sucks. Religious propaganda. If you're interested or just fascinated by the dark side this book is written by religious fanatic.

All know good and are all capable of evil. Religion is brainwashing.

What it has is an introduction written by someone who needs to re-take high school world history. Never mind that he doesn't know what ... Read More
Rating:  - Difficult Read, but Rather Interesting
This printing of the King James "Demonology" consists of four main parts: Demonology Books 1-3, and News From Scotland. The entire book is written on old-english. It takes geting used to the old spelling of nearly every word, but once you figure out what is being said, the book is rather interesting.
Demonology Books 1-3 are in a conversation format between two individuals: Philomathes and Epistemon. In these three books, Epistemon answers Philomathes questions regarding his odd ... Read More
