“…One way to examine ethical values in Christian groups is to conceptualize value structures—structures that are “structural” but still “living,” that is, changing and changeable: living structuralism, as Joel Robbins has put it (Duarte, 2017: 651). Robbins (2016: 774) takes “values” here to refer to cultural conceptions of the good or desirable, not simply the desired.…”

How can anthropologists describe ethical values—that is, what emerges as important—in the social, material worlds of Christianity? This article considers the question by working along interfaces. The first part of the article discusses two diverging approaches to values in the anthropology of Christianity (realizing values and producing values) and situates these in relation to three groupings in the anthropology of ethics and morality (deontological ethics, first-person virtue ethics, and poststructuralist virtue ethics). The second part of the article follows one value—the value of movement—in a historical example: the writings of a group of Christian women in 1880s and 1890s Norway. I argue that ethical values move in multiple ways through this social world: people realize values, people produce values and people work on values.
