A young boy’s willful decision has significant ramifications for the man he becomes in this tale of disillusionment and despair. Lured by the liturgy of a foreign religion and by his desire to become a scholar, Kofi Baako rejects his family, his community, and his obligation as heir apparent to the Stool of Gyedu’s Shrine. However, as he approaches his last year in seminary, Kofi Baako abandons his dream of becoming a Catholic priest and moves to a remote town where his past is unknown. Tormented by his personal demons, Kofi Baako is unable to reconcile his emotions, and when an urgent telegram summons him back to his family and community, he is apprehensive about the journey and what he might find at its end. C.O.T. Appiah skillfully constructs a tale where readers are confronted by some of life’s fundamental questions. What constitutes our identity? What is our purpose? What are our true obligations, and how do we cope when we fail those whom we love?

"Witchcraft" and exorcism have long been dominant features of life in African cultures. This unique book provides a thorough, field research-based description and analysis of a specifically Pentecostal Christian response to these phenomena within the Akan culture of Ghana. Anthropological studies generally claim that the ultimate goal of exorcism is modernisation. Using interdisciplinary studies with a theological focus, the author takes a different view, arguing that it is divinatory consultation or an inquiry into the sacred and the search for meaning that underlies the current "deliverance" ministry, where the focus is to identify and break down the so-called demonic forces by the power of God and to "deliver" people from their torment. The deliverance ministry is one attempt to contextualise the gospel for African people. However, preoccupation with demonisation and exorcistic practices is found to bring Christianity into tension with the Akan culture, family ties and other religions. In order to develop a properly safeguarded ministry of exorcism in an African context, the author examines contextualisation and suggests the integration into African Christianity of divinatory consultation, which has strong resonances with the biblical concept of prayer.
