Summary:
"Christian theologians in the Pacific Islands pay close attention to culture, seeing it as the grounds on which one understands God and engages in dialogue with others. In this pathbreaking book, Matt Tomlinson engages in an anthropological dialogue with the work of these theologians, asking how the combination of culture and Christian theology opens up new conversations while limiting others. The kinds of dialogues that Pacific theologians engage in, Tomlinson writes, range from radical critiques of biblical stories as inappropriate for Pacific audiences to celebrations of traditional gods such as Tagaloa as essentially Christian figures. This book presents a symphony of voices-engaged, critical, prophetic-from the contemporary Pacific's leading religious thinkers, and suggests how their work articulates with broad social transformations in the region"--
