Abstract

Description of project that 'was designed to understand the effects of evangelical missionary activities in post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan... Given the frequent failure of evangelical Christians to convert Muslims, I wanted to understand how and why conversion had become an option for some Kyrgyz, that is, how the conditions conducive to conversion had emerged historically.'
