Witchcraft” continues to be a topic that stirs passions and fears in many places around the world. The task of developing an effective, biblical, and contextually appropriate pastoral theology for addressing the issues raised is therefore an urgent one. The present article seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the social context of witchcraft discourse in African settings by examining recent anthropological research into the ambiguities of witchcraft discourse, and into the impact of globalization on these belief systems
