Dreams in the Omkoi Karen Christian Context

An anthropological research combined with a theological study on dreams (Englisch)

More about the book

The present volume is dealing with the subject of dreams in an animistic culture, concentrating on the Karen people from Northern Thailand. The author has been a missionary in the area for many years. As he learned their language he could make an emic approach to their culture, so that instead of looking for Western-European concepts of dreaming he started strictly from the vocabulary the Karen use in this field of their respective local knowledge. Moreover he compares the dreaming complex with those of other world religions including what the Bible has to say about it. Prof. Dr. Lothar Käser, Professor for Anthropology, Freiburg i. Br., Germany
