Wayne Te Kaawa explores and analyses this framework and applies it to key passages of the bible concerning the genealogy of Jesus and his relationship to the environment, in particular to the land and to the people. The theme of 'people of the land' within the biblical text is explored from an 'indigenous people of the land' perspective. This reveals two things, the indigeneity of Jesus and how Christianity has treated\/mistreated indigenous people throughout the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOverall, Te Kaawa provides a resource that can add to theological discourse in the academy and beyond by showcasing insights from Maori theological reflection in conversation with western theological reflection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWayne te Kaawa \u003c\/b\u003electures in Maori Theology at the University of Otago, New Zealand.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"T\u0026T Clark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51985491263762,"sku":"9780567718105","price":131.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a8261688-d2fa-4d6d-b1d5-4f1ce5ad26e9.jpg?v=1769537739","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/jesus-in-indigenous-maori-understanding-a-contextual-biblical-interpretation-of-jesus-land-genealogy-and-identity-9780567718105","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
