Prophetic Histories

Time, Theology, and Theocracy in Solomon Islands

Beschreibung

On Malaita in Solomon Islands, an evangelical Israelite-inspired movement centers on a distinctive time-consciousness that reads the historical past and present as prophetic signs of an imminent future. This book examines how these 'prophetic histories' interweave biblical narrative, theological reflection, local accounts, kastom practice, spiritual journeys and Old-Testament political theory.
