About This Item
1794 1ed Infernal Conference of DEMONS Occult Spiritual Warfare Baptist MacGowan
John MacGowan was an 18th-century Baptist minister who wrote a number of sometimes controversial, satirical works exploring religious and philosophical issues. In his best known work, "Infernal Conference," he used the device of a series of dialogues between various demons to explore a number of questions; primarily human responsibility versus demonic manipulation.
MacGowen raised a few hackles with the blunt way he mocked the faults of other Christians, and for the subtext that Satan and his minions played a far greater part in earthly affairs than most people believed.
This 1794 American edition was published in Worcester, Massachusetts.
