George R. Saunders

SUMMARY

As Christianity has gradually spread to all parts of the world, Christian symbology, meaning, and dogma have been adapted in unique ways to each new ethnic, tribal, and national culture encountered. This volume of essays looks at that process of adaptation--at how Christianity transforms culture and is transformed by it. One of the first comparative studies in an area of growing interest to anthropologists, the collection offers empirical ethnographic case studies of Christian movements and communities in Melanesia, Micronesia, Korea, Jamaica, Italy, and the United States and explores some new theoretical perspectives on the processes of cultural change.George R. Saunders is the author of 'Culture and Christianity: The Dialectics of Transformation (Contributions to the Study of Anthropology)', published 1988 under ISBN 9780313261183 and ISBN 0313261180.
