Sorcery in Papua New Guinea A Missiological and Pastoral Challenge

Thomas Mooren

 

Abstract:

This article is a free rendering of a chapter of my book Encounter of Religions: Faith and no–Faith in a Global World.1 Therein one can also find the scientific apparatus. Here, I present an account of cases of sorcery in Papua New Guinea as well as instances when Christians’ views about or responses to sorcery were documented and analyzed.
