Abstract
This book argued that the adaptive characteristics of the Pentecostal-Evangelical mode of religious authority and organization to local political-cultural situations and its mutual relation to the transformation of adat among the Kenyah are influential in the development of this denomination in central Borneo. It has been important within the context of Kenyah experience of religious change as it has enabled myriad actors from various social classes and cultural categories to obtain and perceive different modes of religious authority in specific local and regional political-religious situations. Hence, it has also been used to incorporate religious power by both aristocrats (paren) and commoners (panyin) in various social spheres and periods of history.
