While Africa and Madagascar seem like strange and faraway places,
the world in which we now live has become much smaller than many of
us could ever have imagined. Moreover, even our neighbors visit the
local fortuneteller, read the horoscope page in the newspaper, and
attend s ances that seek to reach departed friends, lovers, and
family members. Consequently, as we begin a journey into faraway
places, we may soon find they are not as far away as we may have
expected.
from Chapter 3
I Am Not Afraid is Rev. Dr. Robert Bennett's fascinating
first-hand account of the spiritual warfare found within the
Lutheran Church of Madagascar. Is spiritual warfare something new
to the Church? Bennett reviews what the Bible, Church Fathers, and
contemporary Lutheran leaders have to say.
Part One includes recent conversations dealing with spiritual
warfare, an introduction into the Malagasy Lutheran Church, and the
traditional Malagasy worldview. These are the stories of those who
have been rescued from the darkness of sin and brought into the
light of the Gospel.
Part Two looks to the Bible and the Church for explanation and
historical perspective on the spiritual warfare found in the
Malagasy Lutheran Church. Is it something only found in the time of
Jesus and the apostles? What has the Church said in the past about
such activities? Bennett explores the views of Martin Luther and
other Lutheran leaders, and finally provides some helpful
contemporary material and resources for dealing with spiritual
warfare in today's context.
Includes a glossary of key terms, transcripts of personal
interviews, bibliography, Scripture index, and subject index.
