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'.

Description:
Port Moresby: University of Papua New Guinea Press. 2012. Trade paperback. New.. 272 p. . There are various modern methods of an audience-centered reading of the Scriptures. One of them is an anthropology-inspired approach which assumes that people from these parts of the world come to the Bible with quite a different set of presuppositions, grounded in their own age-old traditions. This kind of approach goes purposely away from the well-established kind of reading which is based upon past Jewish history, ancient near-Eastern customs and archaeology, Semitic philology and so on. But without denying the value of these essentially sound segments of learning, is it really necessary that Melanesians should first plunge into Western academia in order to hear God's word? Or is it no longer true that "Greeks" must not first become "Jews" before they can become Christians? The articles gathered in Traditional Religion in Melanesia, and its companion volume Christianity in Melanesia contribute to the goal just…
