How did Christianity change this culture?
After reading Don Richardson’s novel it came to a revelation to how interesting the power of prayer can be. The Sawi were a cannibalistic and savage group. Saying “were” truly makes fills me with pride, the Sawi were changed and their lives did alter from what they once were. Not only did Jesus enter their lives, but also Christianity changed their whole culture. They became inquisitive and began interested in learning. When their knowledge increases their understanding of the outside world develops.
Once achieved their past lives will be seen as savage and underdeveloped as we once saw it. There is always a plan in the thought of Christ, but what makes me quizzical is what may happen in the future of the Sawi. Who knows? They may already be walking outside the forest of which they have inhabited.
When their understanding of life increase than the Sawi will definitely try to study themselves and ponder at the very reason of why they were cannibals to begin with. Christianity has shown them a new way of life, a way of life that doesn’t include the necessity to deceive and destroy. It has shown them a new way to live with the added benefit of salvation. They wear more modernized clothes, have one wife, but ultimately eat properly.
Christianity not only changed their ways of life, but it also insured their salvation from this world.
