"I didn't know that anthropologists were interested in studying us at all!" "Yes, I imagine it comes as a surprise," I responded as I finished moving the classroom desks into a semi-circle that was intended to facilitate the creation of spaces marked by open dialogue and diversity—core pedagogical concerns of the institution at which I was teaching. It was the second day of class, and Tracy's comments were in response to Joel Robbins's (2003) article "What Is a Christian? Notes toward an Anthropology of Christianity." His discussion of Susan Harding's infamous ‘repugnant cultural other', which Robbins describes as an "anomalous mixture of the similar and the different" (ibid.: 193), had hit a nerve. Tracy's question about anthropological interests in the Christian subject was an expected one, given that I was leading a special topics seminar on the Anthropology of Christianity to master of divinity students at the Candler School of Theology, a United Methodist seminary affiliated with Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
