This book is a primary resource in the new and growing field of
Christian Ethnography. In response to a variety of critical
intellectual currents (post-colonial, post-modern, and
post-liberal), scholars in Christian theology and ethics are
increasingly taking up the tools of ethnography as a means to ask
fundamental moral questions and to make more compelling and
credible moral claims. Privileging particularity, rather than the
more traditional effort to achieve universal or at least
generalizable norms in making claims regarding the Christian life,
echoes the most fundamental insight of the Christian tradition -
that God is known most fully in Jesus of Nazareth. Echoing this
'scandal of particularity' at the heart of the Christian tradition,
theologians and ethicists involved in ethnographic research draw on
the particular to seek out answers to core questions of their
discipline: who God is and how we become the people we are, how to
conceptualize moral agency in relation to God and the world, and
how to flesh out the content of conceptual categories such as
justice that help direct us in our daily decisions and guiding
institutions.
