Product Description

The phrase "Christian politics" points in two directions: political relations between denominations in one direction, and ways that Christian churches contribute to debates about how society should be governed in the other. The contributors to this volume address Christian politics in both senses and argue that Christianity is always and inevitably political in the Pacific Islands. Drawing on ethnographic and historical research in Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and Fiji, the authors argue that Christianity and politics have redefined each other in much of Oceania in ways that make the two categories inseparable at any level of analysis. The individual chapters vividly illuminate the ways in which Christian politics operate across a wide scale from interpersonal relations to national and global interconnections.
