Beskrivelse
Alan Tippett’s publications played a significant role in the development of missiology. 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in this series augment his distinguished reputation by bringing to light his many unpublished materials and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 ethnohis- tory—broaden the contours of the discipline.
English missionary John Hunt and Tongan missionary Joeli Bulu served in the Fiji islands in the
1840s. Their lives were intertwined as they faced the social issues of island warfare, cannibalism,
and the ills brought to the Pacific by traders and those involved in the labor trade. In this fascinating two-volume book Alan Tippett first provides the biography of Hunt, then together with Tomasi Kanailagi gives us the thoroughly
researched and annotated autobiography of Joeli Bulu.
