To this bespeak, the anthropology of Christianity has largely failed to develop. When anthropologists study Christians, they do not run across themselves every bit contributing to a wide comparative enterprise in the way those studying other globe religions exercise. A shut reading of the Comaroffs' Of Revelation and Revolution illustrates the ways in which anthropologists sideline Christianity and leads to a word of reasons the anthropology of Christianity has languished. While it is possible to locate the crusade in office in the civilisation of anthropology, with its emphasis on divergence, problems too exist at the theoretical level. Almost anthropological theories emphasize cultural continuity as opposed to discontinuity and modify. This emphasis becomes problematic where Christianity is concerned, because many kinds of Christianity stress radical alter and wait it to occur. Confronted by people claiming that radical Christian change has occurred in their lives, anthropologists become suspicious and oft explain away the Christian elements of their cultures. Christian assertions about change are hard for anthropologists to credit because anthropological and Christian models of change are based on different models of time and belief. Unless anthropologists reconsider their virtually sectional commitment to continuity thinking and the models of time and belief that ground it, the anthropology of Christianity will continue to face handicaps to its development.
