I recently read a paper on the possible symbolism of the Gerasene exorcism, where Jesus sent a legion of demons into a herd of pigs. There turn out to be interesting connections between the Gospel accounts of this event and the Day of Atonement ceremony from Lev 16 where the sins of Israel were symbolically placed on a goat, which was then released into the wilderness. In both the exorcism and the ceremony, there's some symbolism of the judgment of evil supernatural powers. I have posted a short article on the subject.
