It would be impossible to list all of the books that are of use to an exorcist as the range of information needed is wide indeed. But the following list is an example of the sorts of books I have found useful in this work, and will demonstrate the range of subject matter that can be needed as an exorcist. It is important that an exorcist knows the historical, mythical, and archaeological roots of the cultures and religions that he or she might come into contact with—such information can be the key to many seemingly impossible situations.

I have purposely listed the books by title so that it is easier to browse the subject matter.
