By Joseph Hillery King

Book Overview

""Christianity in Polynesia: A Study and a Defense"" is a book written by Joseph Hillery King in 1899. The book is a comprehensive study of the spread of Christianity in the Polynesian Islands, including Hawaii, Samoa, and Tahiti. King examines the history of Christian missions in the region, including the role of missionaries and the impact of Christianity on Polynesian culture. The book also offers a defense of Christianity in the face of criticism from some who argued that it was a foreign religion imposed on the Polynesians. King argues that Christianity was not only compatible with Polynesian culture but also helped to preserve and strengthen it. Overall, ""Christianity in Polynesia: A Study and a Defense"" provides a fascinating look at the intersection of religion and culture in the Polynesian Islands and offers a compelling defense of Christianity's role in the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
