annotates: Overall article focuses on Choctaw language as a medium for Christian conversion; Byington is a small but significant part of the main focus. Contextualizes Byington’s linguistic work in relation to missionizing work, and examines the Choctaw words he used as translations of Christian concepts in English. Kidwell also considers the internalization of Christian thought among Choctaws, and changes in Choctaw culture due to the influence of conversion.
