| Abstract | "In this volume, Wayne Te Kaawa examines Māori theology and its framework, exploring how it applies to key passages of the Bible concerning the genealogy of Jesus and his relationship to the environment, in particular to the land and to the people. The theme of 'people of the land' within the Biblical text is explored from an 'indigenous people of the land' perspective. This reveals two things, the indigeneity of Jesus and how Christianity has treated/mistreated indigenous people throughout the world. Overall, Te Kaawa provides a resource that can add to theological discourse in the academy and beyond by highlighting insights from Māori theological reflection in conversation with Western theological reflection" -- Publisher, page four of cover. |
