This study analyzes and describes the witch trials of men in French and German-speaking regions, opening up a little known chapter of early modern times, and revealing the conflicts from which witch-hunts of men evolved.

This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. This is the first ever full book on the subject of male witches addressing incidents of witch-hunting in both Britain and Europe. Uses feminist categories of gender analysis to critique the feminist agenda that mars many studies. Advances a more bal. Critiques historians’ assumptions about witch-hunting, challenging the marginalisation of male witches by feminist and other historians. Shows that large numbers of men were accused of witchcraft in their own right, in some regions, more men were accused than women. It uses feminist categories of gender analysis to challenge recent arguments and current orthodoxies providing a more balanced and complex view of witch-hunting and ideas about witches in their gendered forms than has hitherto been available.

Bishop Samuel Vagalas Kanco's testimony is more than just the biography of a man, or an examination of his preaching. The Witch Doctor and The Man: City Under the Sea penetrates deeply into the very essence of Bishop Kanco's life and ministry. Witnessing the power of the Holy Spirit's anointing in his life and work, you will find this book fascinating and empowering. As a young man in Ghana, Vagalas Kanco was a high level wizard in his tribe. Fortunately, Jesus Christ intervened to rescue him from the kingdom of darkness shortly before he inherited, from his father, the position of fourth generation witch doctor. The Bishop's testimony tells of a high-powered confrontation between Satan, the lord of darkness, and Jesus Christ, the Lord of Lords. Kanco exposes the lies, subterfuges, and half-truths Satan uses to entice people down dark and dangerous back alleys. With characteristic creativity and skill, Bishop Kanco strips away the veneer of our modern society, to expose the evil of Satan and his many demonic minions, evil that often disguises itself as good. His testimony is a landmark study of the power of God. There's an honest terror here that will instruct you. So, read and grow in your understanding of this mighty warrior of God. Bishop Samuel Vagalas Kanco received his Doctorate of Ministry from Southeastern Seminary in Savannah, GA. He currently oversees The Lord's Vineyard Church, International (Box 816, Medina, Accra, Ghana, Africa) in Africa, England, and Canada, and also ministers worldwide in a miracle ministry, teaching and healing God's people. He has appeared on many international television and radio programs.
