Derek Prince
Derek was born into a military family in Bangalore, India in 1915. At the age of 13, Derek won a scholarship to the prestigious Eton College, England where he studied Greek and Latin. From Eton, he progressed to Cambridge University where he furthered his understanding of languages, graduating with first-class honours in Classical Tripos (a course studying Greek and Latin languages, culture, and history). Academically, Derek Prince was a brilliant man, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned over time it’s this; brilliance in one area of expertise does not make you brilliant in every field of expertise. No one can question the academic background of Dr. Derek Prince, but when it comes to his revelations and ideas on demonology, it is shocking! So much of what Dr. Prince has to say about this topic is purely anecdotal, it is his experiences, his encounters. When he does turn to the text of Scripture in an effort to support what he is saying, his exegesis at the best of times leaves little to be desired.
In this teaching, I don’t want so much to examine the teachings of Derek Prince as it relates to deliverance but to look at Derek Prince the man, and the personal journey which led him into the deliverance ministry.
