Christianity in the Local Context Southern

In three congregations, representing three distinct social locations, Howell goes beneath the surface to argue that even with these Western forms, these Filipino Baptists are actively constructing themselves and the locality itself in terms of this global faith they have made their own.

Brian M. Howell is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Wheaton College.
