Declare His Praise in the Islands: The Churches of Hawai'i

By Sam Cudney

The first organized Christian missionary party from North America arrived in Hawai'i 1820 during the dissolution of traditional Hawaiian religion. Those missionaries and the many who followed greatly influenced the evolution of Hawaiian society.Without these missionaries, Hawai'i would be very different today. Among the rich legacy left by the missionaries are many, many churches. This book offers insights into the Christianization of Hawai'i by means of photos and explanations of the significance of some of the churches, connecting them to history. Each church has a story to tell; the intention is that the reader or visitor will see more than just an old building, but will be reminded of its story and its significance and role in history. Among the historic churches presented are the remaining 5 of the original 6 missionary stations on Hawai'i Island; the first churches on O'ahu and Kaua'i, and several early Catholic churches, as well as numerous other historic churches. Lavishly illustrated with photographs, this large, full color book is both ornamental and informative.
