Dr. Robert Bennett is dedicated to studying the topic of spirituality. His scope of research includes various forms of animism found in the continents of North America, South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. His book, entitled I Am Not Afraid : Demon Possession and Spiritual Warfare : True Accounts from the Lutheran Church of Madagascar, is one of the few published and peer-reviewed resources available to the scholarly community on the topic of exorcism. In his next book, They Are Afraid : American Spirituality, which is expected to be released by Concordia Publishing House in Autumn 2015, Dr. Bennett turns his attention to the American fascination with spiritualism, and demonstrates how it leads to a spirit of captivity and fear. Dr. Bennett is also a guest lecturer at numerous International Seminaries, Guest Professor of Missions at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana, and the Executive Director of Luther Academy, located in Fort Wayne Indiana.
