June 19, 2022 Luke 8:26-39 Jesus Saves the Gerasene Demoniac

This week we discuss an unusual story: the healing/saving of the Gerasene demoniac, which displays Jesus’ saving power for the first time in Gentile territory. We also discuss the theology surrounding “demons” in the Medieval Catholic church and among the Reformers. Finally, we talk about ways to approach this passage without endorsing a Medieval understanding of “demons” and “exorcism.”
