Title: Christianity in Melanesia.
Description: Port Moresby University of Papua New Guinea Press, 1998. 1st ed. Paperback trade, very good condition, black & white photos, tables, corner tip front cover creased, minor edgewear. 256 pp. First edition (1998). The author is a Flemish missionary who came to Papua New Guinea over 25 years ago. The articles in this book make clear that religion as such was not something that was completely new for "the pagans of the past", and that as a rule they were selective in accepting the Christian message. This accounts for some misunderstandings, but also for some very positive ways of accepting Christianity. Companion volume to 'Traditional Religion in Melanesia'. ISBN: 9980840692
