Description: How does having a female body affect one's experience of indigenized Christianity in Africa? Spirit, Structure, and Flesh addresses this question by exploring the ways ritual, symbol, and dogma circumscribe, constrain, and liberate women in AICs.

Review Quotes: "Crumbley's sophisticated treatment of Aladura spirituality is a welcome addition to the growing literature on African Christianity."--Akintunde Akinade, High Point University
