Resena: The Religions of Oceania (Library of Religious Beliefs and Practices)
ore than a quarter of the world's religions are to be found in the regions of Australia, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia, together called Oceania. The Religions of Oceania is the first book to bring together up-to-date information on the extraordinary variety of traditional religions in the Pacific zone. The book also examines indigenous Christianity and its wide influence across the region, and includes new religious movements generated by the responses of indigenous peoples to colonists and missionaries, the best known of these being the `Cargo Cults' of Melanesia. The authors present a thorough and accessible examination of the fascinating diversity of religious practices in the area, analysing new religious developments, and providing clear interpretative tools and a wealth of information to help the student better understand the world's most complex ethnologic tapestry.
