This book takes a close look at the culture of one of the lowland Filipino groups with a view toward developing contextual theology that is biblically accurate, missiologically sound and culturally relevant throughout the Filipino lowlands.

Here are some of the issues covered:
All-Saints Day and the dead returning to their gravesites
