Conversion, continuity, and moral dilemmas among Christian Bidayuhs in Malaysian Borneo
This article distils and expands on one of the key themes of the monograph (VP63916)—namely the need for anthropologists of Christianity to take practices and discourses of continuity as seriously as they do those of discontinuity and rupture. Although it draws from the same broad ethnographic pool as the monograph (which is a more encompassing study of Bidayuh Christianity), it is a self-contained piece that extends the latter's arguments and grapples more directly with recent developments in the anthropology of Christianity, the theme of denominational pluralism, and the notion of conversion as a positioning.
