Abstract
"Some scholars have rightly observed that the center of gravity of Christianity is shifting from the West to “the two-third world,” that is Asia, South America and Africa.1 The reasons for this shift are varied and complex. However, the reasons for the growth of Christianity in Africa significantly include the way the Africans have attempted to deal with their threatening fears, especially witchcraft. Witchcraft has been a prevailing belief in African cultures and has continually posed problems for the African people groups."
