A hermeneutic study of the narrative of the demon-possessed man in Luke 8:26-39 provides a deeper understanding of the processes of spiritual, moral, and social restoration and highlights the significance of healing and religious support within contemporary Christian communities. At the same time, identifying demon possession solely with mental disorders, or explaining mental illness only through spiritual causes, may lead to a one-sided interpretation of this phenomenon and limit the possibilities for a comprehensive medical, psychological, and theological analysis. Therefore, this article explores the hermeneutical and theological dimensions of the narrative of the demon-possessed man in Luke 8:26-39, examines the essence of the concept of therapeia (heal ing/restoration), and analyzes its relationship with the traditions of spiritual healing practiced by the Christ Apostolic Church in Ibadan, Nigeria.
