Abstract:
The late twentieth century has seen far-reaching changes in the translocal cultural regimes
known as world religions. This research examines the geography and meanings of recent
changes in Christianity in Sri Lanka from a geographical point of view. It highlights the
nature of the forces reshaping religious meanings and authority, the processes promoting
conversion and standardization, and the implications of this religion refrigeration's for
our understanding of late modernity itself. Though modernity is multiple and its temporal
and spatial pattern is unique, this review suggests that Christianity confronts a similar
structural predicament, related to the globalization of mass societies and the absorbent of
late modernity.
