Balinese Christianity and Its Identity: A Theological Articulation from a Minority and Marginal Perspective
This thesis into the issue of self-definition or identity of the minority Christian Churches on the Indonesia Island of Bali. Their self definition is formulated in close relation to their social, religious and cultural context. It is composed of a 'story' and 'discourse', namely the interactions between Christianity and the Balinese culture. With regard to the 'story', they share the same history, tradition and cultural heritage with the Bali-Hindu (chapter one). The problem is that for the majority Bali-Hindus, Christianity is considered alien to Balineseness. Therefore, being Christian means an infringement of the socio-cultural network of this exclusive and feodal society, and so the Christian have taken over the experience of the 'traditional' outsider (chapter two).
