| Summary: | As missionary priest and anthropological researcher, Stephen Fuchs presents this case study in comparative religion from the missiological viewpoint. Ritual observances are seen in their wider sociological context. The resultant view of sin emerges not only as inadequate from a Christian perspective, but as a source of the continuing misery, spiritually and socially, of the subject people. Father Fuchs' colleagues can draw direct benefit, both motivational and strategic, from this study — a practical goal of all missiological research. At the same time, the value of such models for wider application puts all of us in the author's debt. |
