- Summary:
- In this volume Timothy Yates recounts the history of missions among the Maori people of New Zealand in the mid-1800s. After describing the anthropological background of early Maori society, the book examines the first introduction of Christian mission by Samuel Marsden and the establishment of a Church Missionary Society base in 1814. On the basis of painstaking archival research, Yates charts the significant changes in Maori society and religion over the course of nearly thirty years. After detailing the whole Maori conversion process, Yates ends the book with an extended treatment of conversion, both as a general phenomenon and in relation to the Maori. Book jacket.
