These essays, by leading anthropologists of South American shamanism, consider assault sorcery as it is practiced in parts of Brazil, Guyana, Venezuela, and Peru. They analyze the social and political dynamics of witchcraft and sorcery and their relation to cosmology, mythology, ritual, and other forms of symbolic violence and aggression in each society studied. They also discuss the relations of witchcraft and sorcery to interethnic contact and the ways that shamanic power may be co-opted by the state. In Darkness and Secrecy includes reflections on the ethical and practical implications of ethnographic investigation of violent cultural practices.

What does a person have to believe to be a Christian? With hundreds of different denominations and probably thousands of beliefs, are there some essentials that all people must believe in to be a Christian? An obvious answer to that is, yes. What are the essentials that people must believe in to be a Christian? The author answers that question with eight essential beliefs in part 1. Part 2 adds eight more believes that are almost essential. The third part of the book lists eight essential practices of Christians. As you read, question both the author and your own beliefs by searching the Scriptures.
