The Gospel Is Not Western: Black Theologies from the Southwest Pacific

A collection of theological essays from Aboriginal Australia, the Torres Strait, and Melanesia. It brings to light internationally the fact that, while black and liberation theologies were developing in the Americas and Africa, spokespersons from the Southwest Pacific have been making their own vigorous and fascinating contributions. "The world has waited long to hear the voice of the Aboriginal Christian people in the Southwest Pacific. In this volume that voice is at last being raised. The world will benefit greatly by listening to what it says." Charles W. Forman, Professor of Missions, Yale University.
