This book explores the perceptions and attitudes of Sinhalese
Buddhists and Sinhalese Christians regarding the puberty ritual in
Sri Lanka, thereby identifying a relevant Christian response to the
ritual. The author utilized ANOVA and Mann-Whitney statistical
tests to quantitatively compare the viewpoints of the Sinhalese
Buddhists and Christians at cognitive, affective, and behavioral
levels. At the same time, an analysis of qualitative data documents
the rich Sinhalese Buddhist experience of the puberty ritual, as
well as the Sinhalese Christian reservations and alternatives to
the tradition. Furthermore, this book establishes that a relevant
Christian practice of puberty will help Sinhalese Christians enjoy
the Christian faith that reflects their cultural roots, values, and
identity, affirms their relationship with God, and offers a
missional witness of their faith that responds to the hearts and
lives of the people around them. When Christianity engages people's
unique cultural perceptions, interests, and concerns, they can be
expected to appreciate the gospel as meaningful and relevant to
their daily lives. This book can serve as a text or a significant
resource for upper division undergraduate, graduate, and
postgraduate courses on missions, culture, anthropology, rituals,
contextualization, cross-cultural communication, ethnic studies,
and comparative studies.
