Synopsis Pentecostalism and Witchcraft by : Knut Rio
This open access book presents fresh ethnographic work from the regions of Africa and Melanesia—where the popularity of charismatic Christianity can be linked to a revival and transformation of witchcraft. The volume demonstrates how the Holy Spirit has become an adversary to the reconfirmed presence of witches, demons, and sorcerers as manifestations of evil. We learn how this is articulated in spiritual warfare, in crusades, and in healing or witch-killing raids. The contributors highlight what happens to phenomena that people address as locally specific witchcraft or sorcery when re-molded within the universalist Pentecostal demonology, vocabulary, and confrontational methodology.

Synopsis Pentecostal Exorcism by : Opoku Onyinah
"Witchcraft" and exorcism have long been dominant features of life in African cultures. This unique book provides a thorough, field research-based description and analysis of a specifically Pentecostal Christian response to these phenomena within the Akan culture of Ghana. Anthropological studies generally claim that the ultimate goal of exorcism is modernisation. Using interdisciplinary studies with a theological focus, the author takes a different view, arguing that it is divinatory consultation or an inquiry into the sacred and the search for meaning that underlies the current "deliverance" ministry, where the focus is to identify and break down the so-called demonic forces by the power of God and to "deliver" people from their torment. The deliverance ministry is one attempt to contextualise the gospel for African people. However, preoccupation with demonisation and exorcistic practices is found to bring Christianity into tension with the Akan culture, family ties and other religions. In order to develop a properly safeguarded ministry of exorcism in an African context, the author examines contextualisation and suggests the integration into African Christianity of divinatory consultation, which has strong resonances with the biblical concept of prayer.

Synopsis Pentecostalism and Witchcraft: Spiritual Perspectives by : William Kipling
Pentecostalism is a Protestant Christian movement that emphasises direct personal experience of God through baptism with the Holy Spirit. Protestants believe that this enables a Christian to live a Spirit-filled and empowered life. This empowerment involves the use of spiritual gifts such as speaking in tongues and divine healing. Witchcraft, according to practitioners, is the practice of magical skills and abilities such as using spells, incantations and magical rituals. It is a broad term that varies culturally and socially. In many cultures, witches are seen as the opposite of sacred. In some countries, many Pentecostal pastors have combined their evangelical brand of Christianity with regional beliefs in witchcraft. The book presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on Pentecostalism and witchcraft have been included herein. This book is a vital tool for all researching or studying this topic, as it gives incredible insights into emerging trends and concepts.

Synopsis Charismatic Control by : Steven Lambert
Multitudes of sincere and trusting believers are caught unawares in the virtually invisible web of religious captivation in certain Charismatic/Neo-Pentecostal churches. They are unwitting victims of spiritual abuse, psychological enslavement, and various forms of exploitation perpetrated under the heavy-hand of hyper-authoritarianism. That is to say, the leadership of the church-group of which they are a part is dominating, controlling, manipulating, and exploiting their followers for personal gain and private kingdom-building. Such authoritarian abuse is pandemic in some sectors of the Church, and many of the perpetrators are prominent and respected leaders of church-groups or ministries espousing otherwise orthodox Christian beliefs, whose membership is comprised of a cross section of average Americans -- individuals and families -- of every race, education level, station, and walk of life, rather than radical, fringe religious sects and cults as many would suppose. Though religious predomination is certainly nothing new, and hyper-authoritarianism is by no means limited to the Neo-Pentecostal branch of the Church, it has especially flourished in the Charismatic and Neo-Pentecostal groups since it was infused into the very fabric, foundation, and functions of that branch of the Church in the early- to mid-1970s during what became known as the discipleship or Shepherding Movement. The doctrines and practices spawned in that movement remain an integral part of the operations of many churches and groups today. Charismatic Control tells readers how to recognize unBiblical hyper-authoritarian doctrines and practices; how they became a widespread, integral part of the Neo-Pentecostal church; why these teachings and practices are outright witchcraft, authored by Satan Himself; "The Common Control Mechanisms" employed by hyper-authoritarian groups and leaders. This book is must-reading for anyone suspected of being a victim of authoritarian abuse. It is an abridged version of the book, Charismatic Captivation.

Synopsis Witches and Demons by : Jean La Fontaine
Devil worship, black magic, and witchcraft have long captivated anthropologists as well as the general public. In this volume, Jean La Fontaine explores the intersection of expert and lay understandings of evil and the cultural forms that evil assumes. The chapters touch on public scares about devil-worship, misconceptions about human sacrifice and the use of body parts in healing practices, and mistaken accusations of children practicing witchcraft. Together, these cases demonstrate that comparison is a powerful method of cultural understanding, but warns of the dangers and mistaken conclusions that untrained ideas about other ways of life can lead to.
