Summary

"This far-reaching work attempts to develop the foundations of an indigenous Māori theology. In Pā Henare Tate's view, the traditional Christian message has fallen short of speaking intimately and powerfully to Māori experience in Aotearoa. Māori are crying out for a form of Christianity that is 'theirs'. -- Back cover.
