Toward a Cross-Cultural Definition of Sin download pdf

Pete is a missionary to a tribal culture. He has become extremely concerned with the problems of polygamy, betel nut chewing, and smoking. The local people aren’t too concerned about Pete’s standards of sin. They focus instead on avoiding discord in the village. Disobeying husbands and leaders, refusing hospitality and inter-clan payments, and expressing anger are to them the far more serious sins.
