摘要：The return of the demon, present in neopentecostal religious praxis, can seem a cultural religious foolishness in the face of a Modernity which, as a project, believes in Instrumental Reason as the structuring form and only form of social rationality, leading individuals to a permanent search for clarification. Modern man does very well with a scientific attitude when he seeks to know something that is in his interest to know. In this sense nothing should be referred to irrational explanation. Objectivity and data are references of the highest importance. Popular Evangelism seems to be swimming against this current inasmuch as it conceives a demon as something that must be not only fought against in its ranks but also challenged to have to abandon persons and things of which it has taken possession to impede them from prospering. What supports this effort is the gift offered to God as a way of depriving it of power.
