Before Ronald Lawson carried out sociological research in such parts, his impression, gained from reading the

Adventist Review and other official sources, had been that spirit possession was only a mild issue: that it appeared mostly when the Devil tried to interrupt baptisms, and that it took only invoking the name of Jesus to overcome the problem immediately. However, his research convinced him that many Adventists there both attempt to use the spirits of the ancestors as well as living in fear of them, and that spirit possession is no small problem. His research left him wondering to what extent Adventist preaching and teaching there were scratching where the people were not itching.
