In this book, Kenneth Nehrbass examines the interaction between
traditional or animistic religion (called kastom) and Christianity
in Vanuatu. First, he briefly outlines major anthropological
theories of animism, then he examines eight aspects of animism on
Tanna Island and shows how they present a challenge to
Christianity. He traces the history of Christianity on Tanna from
1839 to the present, showing which missiological theories the
various missionaries were implementing. Nehrbass wanted to find out
what experiences in the lives of the islanders distinguished those
who left traditional religion behind from those who held on to it.
In the end, he contends that there are twenty factors of gospel
response and cultural integration that determine whether an
animistic background believer will be a mixer, separator,
transplanter, or contextualizer.
