How to reconcile the deeply held Christian beliefs of Maori with the indigenous world view that they have inherited and are in many cases rediscovering? This far-reaching work attempts to develop the foundations of an indigenous Maori theology. In Pa Tate's opinion, the traditional Christian message has fallen short of speaking intimately and powerfully to Maori experience in Aotearoa. Maori are crying out for a form of Christianity that is 'theirs'. This book offers one response and contribution to this call by attempting to develop a theology that Maori can call 'ours'. About the Author Pa Henare Tate is (Ngati Manawa, Te Rarawa) was one of the senior Maori figures in the Catholic Church. A former lecturer at the Catholic Institute of Theology, he has a doctorate from the University of Auckland, and a specialist in Maori spirituality. Pa Tate lived in retirement in Motuti,in northern Hokianga, until his death on 1st April 2017.
