Summary
Describes the immense impact on Maori society of the arrival in New Zealand of the European missionaries & the early interaction between them which led to the many distinctive responses by Maori to Christianity. In particular, it explains how they learned of the ancient Israelites in the Old Testament and identified with them and how this shaped religious movements like Pai Maririe, Ringatu and Ratana.
