This book raises the question of what an Indigenous church is and
how its members define their ties of affiliation or separation.
Establishing a pioneering dialogue between Amazonian and Gran Chaco
studies on Indigenous Christianity, the contributions address
historical processes, cosmological conceptions, ritual practices,
leadership dynamics, and material formations involved in the
creation and diversification of Indigenous churches. Instead of
focusing on the study of missionary ideologies and praxis, the book
explores Indigenous peoples' interpretations of Christianity and
the institutional arrangements they make to create, expand, or
dismantle their churches. In doing so, the volume offers a South
American contribution to the theoretical project of the
anthropology of Christianity, especially as it relates to the issue
of denominationalism and inter-denominational relations.
