Synopsis

A gripping look at a dramatic turning point in New Zealand history—the conversion of the Maoris through sustained missionary effort and enduring faith. This book gathers historical narrative, biographical sketches, and vivid scenes from early gospel work to later developments, showing how faith, community, and culture intertwined in a nation’s transformation. It foregrounds the people, the missions, and the challenges they faced, offering a clear portrait of how religion and society shaped each other over time.

Starting with the origins and traditions of the Maori people and moving through the efforts of key missionaries, the text highlights how the gospel began to influence daily life, law, and education. It also examines crises such as tribal conflict and religious twists, and how communities navigated these hardships in the light of Christian faith.

• Traces Maori origins, legends, and social structures alongside the early mission ventures.


• Follows influential figures and moments that shaped the spread of Christianity.


• Explores the impact of war, reform, and law on faith communities.


• Offers a historically grounded view of cultural change and religious transformation.

Ideal for readers of history, religious studies, and New Zealand heritage, this edition presents a concise, readable account of a pivotal era in the Pacific.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
