Produktbeschreibung
Syncretism has been a part of Christianity from its very beginnings. Defined as the phenomena of religious mixture, syncretism carries a range of connotations. In Christian theology, syncretism shifted from a compliment during the Reformation to an outright insult in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
