Résumé
Forget what you think you know. The history of exorcism is the hidden history of humanity itself. From the shadowy rites of Babylonian priests to the sterile glow of AI labs, humanity has waged a perpetual war against invisible forces of evil. This battle has shaped our laws, forged our empires, inspired our greatest art, and defined our very understanding of the soul. Now, for the first time, the full, sweeping story of this eternal conflict is revealed.
THE RITE is a groundbreaking journey across 5, 000 years of faith and fear. It is not a collection of superstitions, but a serious intellectual history that traces how our struggle with the demonic has shaped-and been shaped by-the evolution of human power, authority, and identity. Inside, you will discover: How a Babylonian asipu priest acted as a "cosmic mechanic" enforcing divine law-and why his rituals always failed.
The revolutionary moment when Jesus of Nazareth shattered ancient systems of magic with a single word of raw authority. How Roman emperors used state-sponsored exorcism as a tool of political terror to purge the pagan world. The Medieval Church's creation of a fortress society, where every relic, prayer, and knight was a weapon in a cosmic siege. How the Enlightenment tried-and failed-to medicate the demonic out of existence.
The shocking truth behind Hollywood's hijacking of divine deliverance, turning it into a global spectacle that forever changed how we see possession. The terrifying new frontiers of spiritual warfare in the age of AI, neural implants, and genetic engineering. Meticulously researched and masterfully told, THE RITE reveals a shocking paradox: while our methods have evolved from incantations to algorithms, the core battle between truth and deception, freedom and bondage, has never changed.
This is the definitive history of the war we never knew we were in. The battle for the soul is eternal. And it is far from over. THE RITE - Where history, theology, and the human psyche collide.
