- Abstract
- This project examines specific contextual factors of Alaska that obstruct and undermine the birth and survival of faith in Jesus Christ for Alaskans. Through 36 interviews with active and inactive Christians and people who are agnostic, atheists, skeptics, indifferent, or hostile to the Christian faith the project evaluates the effectiveness of the catechetical process Basic Christianity as it addresses the Alaskan context and suggests modifications and adaptations to it. These suggestions address negative influences of the Alaskan environment, lack of value on community, need for people to understand the negative influences of modernity, and Alaskan preoccupation with individualism, self-sufficiency, and independence--all of which may hinder faith in Christ.
