This course reviews comparative anthropological approaches to the study of religion, primarily in non-Western societies. Students will explore many different religions around the globe, although the focus is on ethnographic explorations of particular local Christianities as they are experienced by peoples around the world. Students will understand how local Christian practices and beliefs are affected by encounters with colonialism, modernity, and by the proximity of other religions and belief systems related to place, culture, and history.
