When the Spirit Meets the Spirits Pentecostal Ministry Among the KankanaEy Tribe in the Philippines - Studien Zur Interkulturellen Geschichte Des Christentums Author:Julie C. Ma, P Lang What would happen when the Christian message is introduced to various groups of people? How would their contexts and worldviews influence their responses to the message? To this age-old missiological question, the study takes the readers to a narrowed and concerted question, "What is the affect of Pentecostal messages on animistic people," or in... more » other words, "What are the results when the (Holy) Spirit meets the spirits of the tribal people?" Julie Ma chose the Kankana-ey tribe in the northern Philippines to prove that the Pentecostal type of Christianity has invited a very positive response from the Kankana-eys. She approaches the matter from historical, anthropological and theological perspectives.
