Teachings

Hammond taught that ethical issues such as resentment and gossiping – together with issues such as compulsive eating, forgetfulness, sex problems, and mental illness – were caused by demons requiring deliverance ministry, and that everybody required such deliverance.[1][2][3] He and his wife Ida Mae have been called "perhaps the most influential practitioners of deliverance ministry."[2] Their 1973 book Pigs in the Parlor: A Practical Guide to Deliverance is one of the most influential on the topic,[2][3] and has sold over a million copies.[1]

Hammond's books helped to transfer the ideas of deliverance ministry into the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, in particular the concept of demonic influence short of the demonic possession that requires exorcism by a priest.[4]

Personal

Born in Terrell, TX in October 1921, he married Ida Mae Loden (also of Terrell) in 1948.[5]
