My God, My Land: Interwoven Paths of Christianity and Tradition in Fiji

Jacqueline Ryle, "My God, My Land: Interwoven Paths of Christianity and Tradition in Fiji "
English | ISBN: 0815346794 | 2017 | 340 pages | EPUB | 2 MB

Examining the multifaceted nature of Christianity in Fiji, My God, My Land reveals the deeply complex and often paradoxical dynamics and tensions between processes of change and continuity as they unfold in representations and practices of Christianity and tradition in people's everyday lives.
