dc.description.abstract	In the following work, I have tried to examine the Akan concept of witchcraft as a pastoral problem, which both foreign and local missionaries face, and how to help the victims out of it. The focus of the work has been trying to understand in a deeper way the roots of the fear of witchcraft. Though the fear of witchcraft is so pervasive in Africa, so far the response of the Christian Church, especially the established Churches has been one of denial and rejection. Should this continue the way it is now, or something has to be done? This is one of the basic questions that I have tried to answer. Although I personally doubt the existential substance of witchcraft, I firmly believe that the reality of the belief in witchcraft is indubitable. The conclusion of the work then is, witchcraft is a pastoral problem in the African Church and all efforts must be made to fully understand it.	en_US
