From the supplier: Clifford Geertz's analysis of cultural systems provides a basis for examination of the concept of inculturation. Inculturation has been used to describe the process of mutual influence between Christianity and particular cultures. Geertz discusses ideology, religion, common sense and art as four major cultural systems, which are historically constructed systems of meaning. Each of these interacting systems has its own theology, although it may not be articulated, and each functions to promote social integration. The analysis suggests that inculturation should not be confined to a compartmentalized sphere, but should affect all systems of social meaning.
