Prophetic Histories - Time, Theology, And Theocracy In Solomon Islands

by Jaap Timmer

~~26,43€~~ 21,14€ 20% OFF

 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. Michael Maeliau, the movement s foremost leader, casts the resulting stories as divine messages. His theological reasoning transcends time, space, hierarchy and surface identity, to uncover the true essence of Malaita and establish a theocracy on the island. At the movement s core lies a prophetic order that integrates events, scripture and kastom while foregrounding the agency of God and divine revelations.
