Abstract

Within the anthropology of Christianity, much attention has been paid to the convergence of Christianity with modern understandings of language. In this essay, I review scholarship that traces the historical connections between modern and Christian views of language, particularly in British colonial attacks on Hindu language practices, and I examine two recent ethnographies that offer different vantage points on the variety of ways in which contemporary Christians use language in a self-consciously modern way.

感人的话语:基督教语言与现代世界

在基督教人类学中，很多人关注基督教与现代语言理解的趋同。在这篇文章中，我回顾了追溯现代和基督教语言观之间的历史联系的学术研究，特别是在英国殖民时期对印度教语言实践的攻击中，我研究了两本最近的民族志，它们为当代基督徒以自觉的现代方式使用语言的各种方式提供了不同的有利位置。

期刊介绍： Reviews in Anthropology is the only anthropological journal devoted to lengthy, in-depth review commentary on recently published books. Titles are largely drawn from the professional literature of anthropology, covering the entire range of work inclusive of all sub-disciplines, including biological, cultural, archaeological, and linguistic anthropology; a smaller number of books is selected from related disciplines. Articles evaluate the place of new books in their theoretical and topical literatures, assess their contributions to anthropology as a whole, and appraise the current state of knowledge in the field. The highly diverse subject matter sustains both specialized research and the generalist tradition of holistic anthropology.
