"A Few Remarks on the Scripture History of Saul and the Witch of Endor" by J. Church is a religious examination of King Saul's story, exploring his downfall as he seeks forbidden help from a witch to contact the ghost of Samuel. The book analyzes Saul's mistakes, his worsening relationship with God, and the risks of turning to dark sources for answers; focusing on Saul's desperate act of consulting the Witch of Endor after losing faith. Church argues that the figure Saul sees isn't really Samuel's spirit but a trick by Satan, showing how pointless Saul's actions are and how far he has fallen, using religious ideas to caution readers about turning away from God and the perils of giving in to temptation and hopelessness.

Summary
About the Author
John Church was an Independent minister who was most famous for his involvement in the homosexual scandal of the Vere Street Coterie. He is claimed by some as the first openly ‘gay’ ordained Christian minister in England. Contemporary rumours about this are unproveable one way or the other, though circumstantial evidence may suggest that his "inordinate affections which led me into error" could be referring to homosexuality.
