These narratives also resonate with unease regarding the cultural change, which is connected by Zambians to modernity. Narratives about Satanism further make personal sense to their narrators, the pastors who provide a platform for them, and their audiences. These arguments contribute to the academic study of religion in Africa, in particular of African Christianity and of witchcraft-related phenomena, as well as to the global study of discourses on Satanism and other conspiracy theories. All of these disciplines are related to the topic of Satanism in Zambia, but the phenomenon itself has not been discussed at length, which makes the existing academic literature incomplete and inadequate. The comprehensive focus on the case of narratives about Satanism in Zambia offers new insights and enhances current theoretical reflection. The research presented in this book is original, carried out during fieldwork spanning from 2012 to 2017 in Zambia and literature study in the years after that. Methodologically, the research is based on participant observation in churches in which testimonies of ex-Satanists were presented, as well as participation in the Fingers of Thomas, a Roman Catholic group which investigates rumours about Satanism. Furthermore, it is based on interviews with pastors and students of theology active in the deliverance ministry from Pentecostal as well as mainline churches and also on interviews with people who have had experiences of Satanism. Finally, the research is based on an analysis of collected testimonies of ex-Satanists as they were presented in these interviews, in churches, on radio programmes, in newspapers and in other sources."--Publisher's description.HTS religion & society series.DevilChristianityDevilChristianity.235.4Kroesbergen-Kamps Johanneke1357252NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910678600303321Speaking of Satan in Zambia3362875UNINA02134oam 2200577 450 991071392490332120201022093800.0(CKB)5470000002506416(OCoLC)1100119742(OCoLC)974646676(OCoLC)995470000002506416(EXLCZ)99547000000250641620190506d1985 ua 0engurbn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierComparison of two methods for estimating ground-water recharge in 1978-80, Santa Maria Valley, California /by Paul Lipinski ; prepared in cooperation with the Santa Barbara County Water AgencySacramento, California :U.S. Geological Survey,1985.1 online resource (iv, 17 pages) illustrations, mapsWater-resources investigations report ;85-4129"May 1985."Includes bibliographical references (page 17).Groundwater rechargeCaliforniaSanta Maria Valley (Santa Barbara County)Water tableCaliforniaSanta Maria Valley (Santa Barbara County)Stream measurementsCaliforniaSanta Maria Valley (Santa Barbara County)GroundwaterfastSeepagefastStream measurementsfastWater tablefastCaliforniaSanta Maria Valley (Santa Barbara County)fastGroundwater rechargeWater tableStream measurementsGroundwater.Seepage.Stream measurements.Water table.Lipinski Paul1417855Geological Survey (U.S.),Santa Barbara County Water Agency.OCLCEOCLCECOPOCLCFOCLCQGPOBOOK9910713924903321Comparison of two methods for estimating ground-water recharge in 1978-80, Santa Maria Valley, California3527535UNINA
