The book argues that Stevenson was religiously literate within a Scottish Presbyterian tradition and therefore well placed to grasp with subtlety the breadth and dynamics of a Christianized Pacific culture. It considers his legacy with respect to issues of indigenous sovereignty and agency and positions him within an important and wide-ranging modern debate about inculturation, defined as the emergence of Christianity from within a particular culture rather than imposed on it from outside. Through this study of a major Scottish writer, the book offers a model of interdisciplinary scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50046741938519,"sku":"9781474494823","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781474494823.jpg?v=1740273388","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/robert-louis-stevenson-and-the-pacific-9781474494823","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
