Intercultural criticism of spiritual warfare (Ephesians 6:10–20)

Abstract

The text of Ephesians 6:10–20 reframes the sectors of what we know as ‘spiritual warfare’ to tackle demons that menace and disturb people’s daily life. Reading this text from an African perspective helps to understand the text as well as believers in Africa to efficiently use the proposed weapons. Contribution: An approach such as an intercultural criticism with the aid of a four-legged stool model in this research proved to be appropriate.
