Though Malawi in general, and the areas described in this book, are
predominantly Christian, traditional religion is still an important
reality, beside and within Christianity in Malawi. Matthew
Schoffeleers, a Montfortian missionary priest and social
anthropologist, addresses here aspects of African tradition
religion, with a particular focus on spirit possesion. Both in its
individual importance and in its territorial importance. Of the six
papers collected in the book two deal with rain cults, which for
centuries have played a central role in the political and religious
life of Malawi, two with territorial spirit mediumship and two with
cults of affliction.
