Highlighting the voices of non-Western scholars, this collection recognizes the importance of ritual and ceremony in the life of communities that seek to worship God in ways that reflect culturally appropriate responses to Scripture. The contributors--some of missiology's leading lights--offer expositions of rituals, beliefs, and practices of diverse peoples, all supporting the conclusion that orthodox Christianity is hybrid Christianity.
