Indigenous Peoples and Religious Change: Studies in Christian Mission, cartea 31

Editat de Peggy Brock
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 mar 2005
This book explores a range of societies in and around the Pacific and southern Africa in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that encountered religions introduced from elsewhere, or fashioned their own responses to already established religious traditions. These changes observed through the responses of the receiving societies indicate that religious change is a creative dynamic, rather than a passive acceptance of new ideas, beliefs and practices. While change is often triggered by the introduction of new understandings, it can only become entrenched within a community when it takes on meaning for individuals, and becomes embedded within the social and cultural life of the community.

Recenzii

‘… this book achieves two important tasks: it explores a diverse set of case studies in the mold of the "agency interpretation" looks forward to new scholarship by drawing attention to (at least) three themes warranting closer study--indigenous teachers/missionaries, Space and Hope. Because they present a balanced discussion of local particularities and general patterns of religious change, several … chapters would make excellent course readings at the senior undergraduate and graduate level.’
