In this richly contextualized study, Liana Chua explores how a
largely Christian Bidayuh community has been reconfiguring its
relationship to its old animist rituals through the trope and
politics of "culture." Placing her ethnography in dialogue with
developments in the nascent anthropology of Christianity, Chua
argues that such efforts at "continuity speaking" are the product
not only of Malaysian cultural politics, but also of conversion and
Christianity itself. This book invites scholars to rethink the
nature and scope of conversion, as well as the multifarious, yet
distinctive, forms that Christianity can take.
