Summary: The Christian Mission in New Zealand began among Northern Maori of the Bay of Islands in 1814. But it was not until 1825 that the first Christian convert was baptised, with the mission only finally flourishing in the 1830s. During its early period in New Zealand, the Christian Mission was directed by Samuel Marsden, but from the mid 1820s a change in direction was initiated by Henry Williams, the leader of the local missionary committee in the Bay of Islands. This study identifies and explores the tension between the strategies adopted by Marsden and Williams and the implications of each for the conduct of the mission.--From back cover.

The Christian Mission in New Zealand began among Northern Maori of the Bay of Islands in 1814. But it was not until 1825 that the first Christian convert was baptised, with the mission only finally flourishing in the 1830s. During its early period in New Zealand, the Christian Mission was directed by Samuel Marsden, but from the mid 1820s a change in direction was initiated by Henry Williams, the leader of the local missionary committee in the Bay of Islands.
