This study examines how mature Lele Christians of the Evangelical Church of Manus assess traditional health concepts in light of their Christian faith and Scripture. By using cognitive theory as an interpretive approach, this research serves as a case study to illustrate the mental processes that take place when Christians in an animistic context make sense of their traditional culture.    Simon Herrmann spent 15 years in Papua New Guinea, the United States and Malaysia. He now works as a lecturer in Intercultural Theology at the Internationale Hochschule Liebenzell (IHL). 4aKrankheit 4aHeilung 4aFallstudie 4aAnimismus 4aKultur 4aLele <Stamm> 4aKontextuelle Theologie 4aKontextualisierung 4aSynkretismus 4aMission 4aPapua-Neuguinea
