A remote people never directly "missionized," the Urapmin began in the 1960's to send young men to study with Baptist missionaries living among neighboring communities. By the late 1970's, the Urapmin had undergone a charismatic revival, abandoning their traditional religion for a Christianity intensely focused on human sinfulness and driven by a constant sense of millennial expectation. Exploring the Christian culture of the Urapmin, Joel Robbins shows how its preoccupations provide keys to understanding the nature of cultural change more generally. In so doing, he offers one of the richest available anthropological accounts of Christianity as a lived religion. Theoretically ambitious and engagingly written, his book opens a unique perspective on a Melanesian society, religious experience, and the very nature of rapid cultural change. 410 0$aEthnographic studies in subjectivity ;$v4. 606 $aChristianity$zPapua New Guinea$zUrapmin 607 $aUrapmin (Papua New Guinea)$xReligious life and customs 615 0$aChristianity 676 $a306.6/09957/7 700 $aRobbins$b Joel$f1961-$01000270 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810538503321 996 $aBecoming sinners$94017076 997 $aUNINA
