About This Book
"This study of Australian, New Zealand, and Pacific Christianity opens up new perspectives on Christianization and modernization in this richly complex region. The reception of Christianity into Pacific cultures has produced strongly Christian societies.
Based on research in widely scattered archives, this book not only deals with regional interactions but also pays careful attention to developments in microstates, and to the variety of indigenous religious movements, which were earlier regarded as deviations from Christian orthodoxy but are now seen as significant adaptations of Christian teaching.
In Australia and New Zealand too, European Christian beginnings have been given local emphases, producing Churches with distinctive identities."--BOOK JACKET.
