The key theme addressed by all the contributors to this book is the
relationship between South Africa's indigenous churches (AICs) to
modernity. The key question asked by each of the contributors is to
what extent, if any, do AICs serve as bridges to tradition or as
facilitators for modernizing practices? Although the researchers do
not agree on the answer to this question--some argue for the return
to tradition, others argue for the facilitation perspective--they
do provide provocative and timely insights for prospective
researchers interested in exploring concepts and methodologies for
understanding modernity and modernization. Based on a number of
case studies of AICs in South Africa, this book will also be of
great interest to scholars of comparative religion and the role
churches play in negotiating the complex terrains of politics,
society, and economy in this era of globalization.
