【Course Objectives】

Christianization is an interesting phenomenon for cultural anthropologists, who investigate both the universality and the specificity of human culture and society. Promoters of Christianity, in the course of centuries of missionizing activities all over the world, have had to confront the question of how to transmit their universal doctrine to each local society. At the same time, the Christian way of thinking has offered a strong intellectual basis for the modern European scholarship.
The objective of this course is to present a perspective on the theme of sociocultural change in local societies before and after Christianization.

【Course Contents】

Reading books and articles about sociocultural change and Bible translation, students acquire insights on transformation of person, custom and signs before-after Christianization.
