Full Description

This volume examines the emergence of the coalition of co-operating denominations and independent churches whose ideological boundaries have been shifting since post-war re-emergence. Theoretically, the study draws on the insights of sociological and anthropological scholars to construct a theoretical model that frames the analysis in terms of the relational and oppositional aspects of ground boundary dynamics. It seeks to help the understanding of how movements define their coalitional boundaries and how coalitions change and reconstitute their boundaries over time.
