Footsteps in the sea : Christianity in Oceania to World War II

documentary heritage
  • Description

    "What happened in the Pacific as imperial twilight led to great changes in Christian missions and the emergence of self-governing Island churches with distinctive local leadership and style? Protestants, Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Faith Missions, Adventists, Latter Day Saints?

    These questions are answered in a graphic narrative, introducing Islanders and mission leaders and showing how Christianity became adopted into local cultures and interacted with traders and local administrators.

    The role of women, Islander and expatriate, is explored in this sequel to the author's 'To live among the stars: Christian origins in Oceania', which has been called 'standard for a generation".--Publisher's blurb.
