内容説明
The recent explosive growth of fundamentalist forms of Christianity has been a striking development in the Third World. This book is an ethnography of an urban Protestant community in India, traces the emergence of this kind of religiosity and shows how it now challenges the liberal doctrines and practices introduced by the missionaries and still preferred today by indigenous church and community leaders. Fundamentalism therefore appears as a species of popular culture favoured by those far removed from centres of power and privilege. More broadly, this study explores the nature of the south Indian urban class order, the manner of its reproduction, and its involvement with religious processes. Religious views and behaviours are thus understood as part of a wider dynamic in which dominance and resistance to dominance are as much a cultural as a material struggle. This book should be of interest to anthropologists, sociologists of religion and students of south Asia, religions, fundamentalism and missiology.
