Dr. William Bradshaw

William Bradshaw's career experiences as an ordained minister, college president, college chief financial officer, and fund-raising specialist provide credibility for the events in his new novel Sinister Among Us. A graduate of the University of Missouri and Yale Divinity School, he then earned his Ph.D. in the field of demonology at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. He was introduced to the study of demonology by Matthew Black, renowned Scottish scholar, who was searching for a reasonable explanation for the terrible atrocities of World War II. He could not believe that the human creature, in and of himself, was evil enough to be responsible for the terrible persecute of the Jewish people. He believed that extra-human forces-evil, demonic forces-had to be involved. At his urging, Dr. Bradshaw traced the historical development of Satan, the devil, and evil spirits from early Mid-Eastern literature and religious thought, through Hebrew and Jewish literature ranging over several thousand years, into the Christian era. Since then Dr. Bradshaw has become equally interested in demon possession and exorcism.

Retired now from active ministry and education, Dr. Bradshaw devotes his time to research and writing. He is the author of a recently published book, Fundraising: The System That Works. Dr. Bradshaw, an avid golfer and model train enthusiast, resides in St. Louis, MO, with his wife, Betty June.
