theological demonology

Theological demonology is the study of demons and evil spirits within a religious context, particularly how they are understood in relation to God, humanity, and moral order. It explores the nature, origin, and activity of these entities, often drawing from sacred texts and religious traditions. Theologians examine how demons are perceived as forces of temptation, chaos, and moral corruption, and how they challenge the divine purpose. This field addresses questions of spiritual warfare, the struggle between good and evil, and the implications for faith and personal conduct.
