""Christianity Among The New Zealanders"" is a historical account of the introduction and spread of Christianity in New Zealand during the 19th century. Written by William Williams, a prominent Anglican missionary who arrived in New Zealand in 1823, the book provides insights into the cultural and religious landscape of the Maori people before the arrival of European settlers.The book covers Williams' experiences as a missionary, including his interactions with Maori leaders, his efforts to translate the Bible into Maori, and his role in establishing schools and churches throughout the country. It also includes accounts of significant events in New Zealand's history, such as the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 and the wars between Maori tribes and the British colonial government.Throughout the book, Williams emphasizes the importance of respecting Maori culture and traditions while spreading Christianity. He also acknowledges the challenges and controversies that arose during the process of conversion, including conflicts between Maori and European religious practices.Overall, ""Christianity Among The New Zealanders"" provides a valuable perspective on the early history of New Zealand and the role of Christianity in shaping the country's cultural and religious landscape.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
