Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the complex relationship between global Christianity and local religious practices, focusing on a Papua New Guinean village, Pairundu. It delves into the tensions and conflicts arising as local communities encounter global fundamentalism, particularly the rise of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church among the youth who have distanced themselves from Catholicism. Through an ethnographic lens, it highlights the social and cultural dynamics influencing religious transformations and conflicts, providing insights into the broader implications of globalization on faith practices.
