Inhaltsangabe

It is the first volume to focus on experiences of moral failure among both Muslims and Christians on the basis of ethnographic research. It goes beyond a tenacious and problematic dichotomy within the anthropology of Islam and Christianity between a focus on pious disciplining on the one hand and a focus on moral ambivalence and experiences of incoherence on the other. It brings together two scholarly fields that have hitherto been kept largely separate: the anthropology of Islam and the anthropology of Christianity.
