Opis

Australasia has developed strongly Christian societies. Based on research in widely scattered archives, this book not only deals with regional interactions and developments in microstates, but examines the various indigenous religious movements, which were earlier regarded as deviations from Christian orthodoxy but are now seen as significant adaptations of Christian teaching.

Recenzje

An impressively wide-ranging work, denominationally as well as geographically ... It is an account of a multifaceted denominational development from missions to Churches, and of the struggle by those Churches to make a positive contribution to social transformation. That is its unique value.
