*Unsigned*


An exploration of werewolf beliefs and legends from Classical Antiquity to the post-medieval period


• Examines werewolf tales and stories from early Greece, Scandinavia, France, Germany, Eastern Europe, China, and Japan, as well as legends of other shapeshifting creatures such as were-tigers, were-jackals, and were-caribou


• Looks at the various ways people become werewolves, including pacts with the devil, magic, and spells, and explores ways to identify, escape, and do away with werewolves


• Includes the trial records from medieval Europe for individuals who were tried on suspicion of being werewolves and the personal records of people whose spouses could shapeshift into wolves


An animal both mythical and real, a terrifying predator and the villain in many a fairytale, the wolf has haunted the human imagination since prehistoric times. Even more disturbing is the possibility that some individuals can change into wolves. These werewolves, or lycanthropes, are able to divest themselves of their human nature and transform into enemies that are all the more dangerous as no one knows who they are. Means of protecting oneself from this beast have been a concern for people since Classical Antiquity, and werewolf legends offer both fascinating tales of horror as well as advice for thwarting these creatures or breaking the werewolf curse.


In this exploration of werewolf folktales, legends, and historical accounts, Claude Lecouteux examines werewolf beliefs and stories from early Greece to the post-medieval age, including the beliefs of the Norse and tales from France, Germany, Eastern Europe, China, and Japan. The author includes the trial records from medieval Europe for individuals who were tried on suspicion of being werewolves and the personal records of people whose spouses could shapeshift into wolves. He investigates the nature of the werewolf, how it can act as the double or lead to out-of-body experiences, and its counterparts in other parts of the world such as were-tigers, were-jackals, and even were-caribou in the Inuit regions of North America. Lecouteux also looks at the various ways people become werewolves, including pacts with the devil and spells, and explores ways to identify, escape, and do away with werewolves. Sharing werewolf mysteries from around the world, Lecouteux shows that by studying the legends of the werewolf we also gain insight into the psyche and ancient imagination of humanity.

Challenge your thinking on this subject
Format: Paperback
I found this book generally helpful. It was beneficial to me to think through how someone might arrive at a conclusion different from my own. That challenged me to think through the biblical support for my own view of sanctification. The introduction sets the stage well. All agree in certain aspects of sanctification, but disagree on others such as: how does one achieve success in sanctification? How much success is possible? Is a crisis experience following one's conversion normal - or necessary? If so, what kind of experience and how is it verified. Several definitions of terms become important in the book: sin, old/new man, perfection, Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and Entire sanctification. In terms how well the authors lay out a biblical case for their positions, I found myself convinced more by the Reformed and Dispensational perspectives. From best to worst, I might order it as follows: 1. Reformed 2. Dispensational 3. Pentecostal 4. Keswick 5. Wesleyan Overall, I found it refreshing that all of the authors maintained a respectful and gracious tone in their disagreement with one another. I would recommend this book as a helpful overview of this topic.

Great comparison!
Format: Paperback
These five views are given in the words of their own proponents. Each view is then critiqued by the other four authors. These authors seem to be leaders in the denominations representing each position. This book is for the theological heavy-weight reader. It is desirable to the seminarian who knows the terminology and nuances of the theological standpoints. It does have devotional value in turning the reader to God.

More than a library filler
Format: Hardcover
Wayne Grudem’s Christian Ethics is a thorough guide for thinking through real life moral questions from a clear biblical perspective. I originally bought this book because I thought it would look good for a display of books. I was pleasantly surprised as I began to read it. The book is detailed and the chapters are laid out in a way that makes it easy to dip into specific topics as needed, which is helpful for pastors, teachers, and laypeople alike. I especially appreciate how Grudem consistently grounds his arguments in Scripture and explains how he reaches his conclusions. His writing is clear, practical, and often pastoral in tone, rather than academic. If you are looking for a comprehensive, conservative evangelical resource on Christian ethics that takes the authority of the Bible seriously and applies it to a wide range of modern issues, this book is a valuable addition to your library...not just a decoration piece.
