Mission, Church, and Sect in Oceania cover

This volume, co-published with the Association for Social Anthropology in Oceania, highlights the enormous complexity of the missionizing process in Oceania in the 19th and 20th centuries.

A valuable, carefully documented symposium by acknowledged research workers in the field of religious history in the Pacific Islands. The inter-disciplinary approach throws light on many developments which have until now been oversimplified and distorted by being seen only from one explanatory background. Students of missiology, Pacific history and ethnology will want to own and consult this groundbreaking book. -- John Garrett, Pacific Theological College, Fiji
