Notes

"This book examines encounters between the Christian church and Måaori. Christian faith among Måaori changed from the missionary endeavours of Påakehåa settlers, to the development of indigenous expressions of Christian faith, to partnerships between Måaori and Påakehåa in the mainline churches, and the emergence of Destiny Church. The book looks at the growth, development and adaptation of Christian faith among Måaori people, and considers how that development has helped shape New Zealand identity and society. It explores questions of theology, historical development, socio-cultural influence and change, and the outcomes of Påakehåa interactions with Måaori."--Publisher information
