Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Alan: I do not recommend M. Scott Peck for at least two reasons: 1) he is really not qualified in Spiritual Warfare, though I am appreciative that as a psychiatrist that he recognized the demonic aspect. 2) his mentor and adviser in exorcism and Spiritual Warfare was Malachi Martin who is a person not to be recommended. Peck himself recognized that Martin was a liar, especially about his identity. Nevertheless Peck thought Martin was a leading expert on exorcism. Rather than offer a critique of Peck's work, which I do not have time to do, I would recommend instead, any of the books on our Recommended Books List. God bless, Bro.
