Christianities among Bemba Women: The Influence of Christian Teachings on the Way of Life in the North of Zambia

Nicole Musioł



Abstract

This essay sheds light on the contemporary attitudes (especially of women) towards ethical issues in the Christian context in the Luapula Province in Zambia. After outlining the role of traditional religions, I present my own data on the diversity of Christianity in the region. Based on this, I describe the dynamics between different denominations and point out particularities of the Catholic community. Then, I illustrate how religious convictions influence the way of life. This includes the explication of norms surrounding the dress code, the role of women in the society, and marriage.
