Charismatic Healers in Contemporary Africa: Deliverance in Muslim and Christian Worlds: Bloomsbury Advances in Religious Studies

Editat de Sandra Fancello, Alessandro Gusman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 iun 2024
Based on ethnographic studies conducted in several African countries, this volume analyses the phenomenon of deliverance - which is promoted both in charismatic churches and in Islam as a weapon against witchcraft - in order to clarify the political dimensions of spiritual warfare in contemporary African societies. Deliverance from evil is part and parcel of the contemporary discourse on the struggle against witchcraft in most African contexts. However, contributors show how its importance extends beyond this, highlighting a pluralism of approaches to deliverance in geographically distant religious movements, which coexist in Africa. Against this background, the book reflects on the responsibilities of Pentecostal deliverance politics within the condition of 'epistemic anxiety' of contemporary African societies - to shed light on complex relational dimensions in which individual deliverance is part of a wider social and spiritual struggle. Spanning across the study of religion, healing and politics, this book contributes to ongoing debates about witchcraft and deliverance in Africa.

Recenzii

The case thinking approach in this volume takes us into the intimate circle of families and couples, revealing the diagnoses of the unnamed and chronic evil that disturbs their spirits and gnaws at their bodies. With a focus on pandemic crises and deadlocks in hospital medicine, this book is strikingly topical.
