Christian understandings of paganism and witchcraft

[Steve Hayes]

Several people have asked where they can read the paper I read at the
conference of the Association for the Study of Religion in Southern Africa
(ASRSA) held in Durban last week.

The paper was on "Christian understandings of paganism and witchcraft" and
was one of three papers on the general theme of paganism and witchcraft.
The other papers on that theme were by Dr Pearl Sithole and Dr Dale
Wallace.

I have posted a rather raw version of my paper on my Khanya blog at:

http://khanya.wordpress.com/2008/06/07/christian-paganism-witchcraft/

where those who are interested may read and comment on it. Comments in
this forum are also welcome.

I may polish it up a bit and submit it to a journal for possible
publication, and any comments and criticisms that help with the polishing
will also be gratefully received.

B - I have to wonder by the use of the words "Christian
understandings" do they mean that these are a majority of thoughts?
surely we don't have all Christian understandings displayed here?

Yes.

Obviously not in a single paper.
