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.
