Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 162 pp. Includes bibliography. This book arose from a series of seminar presentations at a workshop on 'Melanesian Religion and Christianity' held at Alexishafen, Madang Province, back in 1996. Edited by Professor Garry Trompf, it explores issues that are crucial and most demanding of attention in contemporary Melanesia and about the value of straightforward, hands-on and less theoretical work in a culturally diverse and turbulent region. This book honours the claim that the 'noble traditions' of Melanesian societies are worth preserving, while acknowledging the massive shifts taking place among them today.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This study surveys systematically the full scope of Melanesian religion, from traditional beliefs and practices to the development of strong indigenous Christian churches and theology. Garry Trompf writes from extensive knowledge of the social and religious aspects and from his own experience living and working in Papua New Guinea. Melanesian Religion provides an invaluable guide and analysis to pressing issues of religious and social change in the Pacific. It provides a useful overview for readers with general interests in the South Pacific region, and in the formulation of indigenous responses to external institutions, beliefs and value systems. The Melanesian peoples of the south-west Pacific form about one-quarter of the world's cultures - cultures in which a deep sense of spiritual consciousness has engendered rich diversity of religious experience. Professor Trompf argues that, to be complete, any interpretation of the social and economic patterns of Melanesian life, past and present, must take proper account of this religious context.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Near to the heart of the human predicament are impulses to avenge - what most of us will recognize to be negative, counterproductive reactions against others who pose a threat. By contrast, nothing re-establishes our faith in humanity more than extraordinary acts of concession, such as peace-making, generosity and sacrifice. In this study Garry Trompf shows how various aspects of 'payback', both negative and positive, provide the best indices to an understanding of Melanesian views of life. The book explores the reasons why people 'pay back' and opens up a whole dimension in the cross-cultural study of human consciousness.
