The volumes in this series augment his distinguished reputation by bringing to light his many unpublished materials and hard-to-locate printed articles. These books—encompassing theology, anthropology, history, area studies, religion, and ethnohistory—broaden the contours of the discipline. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume contains two manuscripts. The first, The Integrating Gospel, combines a historical ethnolinguistic study of Fijian language, an examination of Fijian culture patterns in interaction with the church, and Tippett’s own firsthand experience as a communicator of the gospel to specific receptors at a specific place and point in time. From this, Tippett is able to extrapolate broader ideas on contextualization and methods of gospel transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn The Christian: Fiji 1835–67, Tippett addresses the establishment of the Christian church and the spread of Christianity in Fiji, with special attention to Ratu Cakobau. In this brief but in-depth study, Tippett presents a strong case against the understanding that Fijian conversions to Christianity were primarily political, as he offers evidence of the genuine religious and spiritual experiences behind these conversions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carey, William Library Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022783561968,"sku":"9780878084807","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780878084807_p0.jpg?v=1763848091","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780878084807","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
