| 520 | |a Deliverance practices have become central features of Ghanaian Pentecostalism. However, there have been human rights concerns and abuse of power regarding some of these practices. Consequently, using the theory of consumer religion, this article sought to analyze perspectives of some Christian young adults regarding some of these concerns. Findings suggest that deliverance is considered as a solution to existential problems and human rights concerns are not priorities that deliverance seekers, who are in search of solutions, are concerned about once their needs are met. The article concludes that, with popular knowledge of abuses in some of these deliverance practices and with no guarantee that one would not be abused, deliverance seekers vesting unfettered trust in pastor-prophets in these practices renders them as consenting by default to some of the abuses they are subjected to. The article contributes to the discourse on neo-Pentecostal deliverance practices in contemporary Ghana. | ||
