Sea of Readings: The Bible in the South Pacific

This collection of essays edited by Jione Havea is a companion to Islands, Islanders, and the Bible (2015). In this volume, contributors focus on the relationship between biblical scholarship and the churches in the South Pacific. Essays are presented in three sections: (1) readings that twist biblical texts around insights of Pasifika novelists, composers, poets, and sages; (2) contextual readings that turn biblical texts toward Pasifika; and (3) responses by biblical critics.
