Book excerpt: In Oksapmin, Papua New Guinea (PNG), Christianity provides an idiom and organizational form that women use to engage the pressing problems of modernity.

It compares past and contemporary engagements with Christianity as a way to understand how women approach social change. By doing so, this thesis sheds light on changing gender relations in PNG.
