This dissertation lays out some of the current attitudes and understandings in the Reformed
Church in America in regards to the ministry of deliverance. The arguments laid out are
supported by what is currently happening in deliverance ministry across the United States and
in-depth interviews with Reformed Church in America pastors. Differences in how we
understand the terminology involved in this ministry were also briefly looked at. Deliverance
ministry within the Reformed church is hampered by issues of fear and uncertainty, lack of
knowledge or understanding and issues of world view. Many RCA pastors are open to this
ministry although very few have actually engaged in deliverance with a person. RCA pastors
tend to lean more toward psychological answers than they do spiritual ones. / Thesis (M. Th. (Practical Theology))
