- Abstract
Animism is the belief in a multitude of powerful spiritual beings, including gods, ancestors, and impersonal forces, that exercise influence over all aspects of human life and therefore must be gratified, placated, and controlled The animistic worldview supposes that all nature is interconnected, the universe is full of spirits, the powers can be controlled, and divination is essential. The Christian message has solid and powerful answers for those who are enslaved by animistic beliefs and practices. Cross-cultural missionaries who work with animists should study their beliefs and practices and how to deal with them as they proclaim the gospel and foster the formation of fellowships of converts from animism.
