Based on two years of field study on the Zege peninsula on Lake Tana between 2008 and 2014, the book follows the material relationships by which Ethiopian Orthodox Christians relate to God, each other, and the material environment. It shows how religious life in Zege is based around a ritual ecology of prohibition and mediation in which fasting and avoidance practices are necessary in order to make the material world fit for religious life. The book traces how religious feeding and fasting practices have been the idiom through which Christians in Zege have understood the turbulent political changes of recent decades"--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aAnthropology of Christianity. 606 $aMediation$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$vCase studies 606 $aTaboo$zEthiopia$vCase studies 606 $aChristianity$zEthiopia$vCase studies 607 $aEthiopia$xChurch history 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aclass distinctions. 610 $aeating. 610 $afasting. 610 $afeeding practices. 610 $ahaile selassie. 610 $ahospitality. 610 $aimperial era. 610 $alarge scale religious change. 610 $alocal transformations. 610 $amodern secular state. 610 $anorthern ethiopia. 610 $aorthodox christians. 610 $aorthodox society. 610 $aradical upheaval. 610 $areligious traditions. 610 $aritual prohibition. 610 $asecularization of the state. 610 $azege peninsula. 615 0$aMediation$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 615 0$aTaboo 615 0$aChristianity 676 $a281/.75 700 $aBoylston$b Tom$f1980-$01023317 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996328038803316 996 $aThe Stranger at the Feast$92430973 997 $aUNISA
