dc.descriptionThe following essays explore the religious history of the Pacific Islands, from Melanesia and the northern tip of Australia in the west, to Samoa, Tonga, the Cook Islands and the Society Islands in the east. Diverse regionally, this collection is also premised on the integration of the many gods or spiritual beings indigenous to the islands and the diverse visions or understandings of foreign gods, such as Christianity’s Jehovah, which have developed as a result of contact with missionary religions in the past couple of centuries. The spiritual beings who have long dwelt in the lands of Oceania and the newer visions of the foreign deities have experienced relations that at times have been subject to forms of contestation as well as partial collaboration. The result has been, as Vilsoni Hereniko points out, the creation of today’s ‘traditional’ Pacific Islands societies.1en_US
