- Description
- Author discusses the choices people living across the river Jordan made out of the religions offered to them by the missionaries. and how they adapted religious practices and beliefs to their own culture. She argues that local kinship organisation and marriage and divorce practices played a large role in the religious choices people made. Author indicates what the conversion process for women, which is different from that for men, means for the agency of women in religious matters and for their religious identity.
