| Summary: | The preceding article by Eugene A. Nida on “Akamba Initiation Rites and Culture Themes” was read by Fred Peng in a pre-publication draft.

This exchange is presented to give additional perspective on the problem of the analysis of the culture themes in many societies. From the point of view of the Christian gospel which often challenges cultural values and assumptions in a radical way, the study of culture themes which highlight these values is potentially very fruitful. |
