Bible & Treaty: Missionaries among the Māori is a complex and colourful adventure of faith, bravery, perseverance and betrayal that seeks to recover lost connections in the story of modern New Zealand. It brings a fresh perspective to the missionary story, from the lead-up to Samuel Marsden's first sermon on New Zealand soil, and the intervening struggle for survival and understanding, to the dramatic events that unfolded around the Treaty of Waitangi and the disillusionment that led to the Land Wars in the 1860s. While some missionaries clearly failed to live up to their high calling, the majority committed their lives to Māori and were instrumental in spreading Christianity, brokering peace between warring tribes, and promoting literacy – resulting in a Māori-language edition of the Bible. This highly readable account, from the author of Ratana Revisited: An Unfinished Legacy (2006) and Ratana: The Prophet (2009), shines a new light on the ever-evolving business of New Zealand's early history.

In Treaty of the Great King, Kline gives a detailed analysis and strong evidence for supporting the interpretation of Deuteronomy as being a legal document between Israel and YHWH that was patterned after ancient Near Eastern treaties, with Moses as its primary compiler. These studies were foundational in Kline's career as a covenant theologian.

Beyond Betrayal delves into New Zealand's pioneering history, and asks why such promising partnerships descended into decades of distrust. After the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, a succession of governors resisted missionary advice, despite their local knowledge and peacemaking skills, and influenced a raft of misunderstandings that provoked violent outbreaks across the country. The rise of Maori prophetic movements, and an intense desire for Maori to have a unified political voice, saw allegiances split between those supporting the government and those frustrated at failed Treaty promises. The pressure to surrender tribal lands had the same impact – a shattered economy and a dispossessed people. The thrilling follow-up to Keith Newman's bestselling Bible & Treaty, Beyond Betrayal looks behind the events that led to the first Maori land protests, and follows the unfolding drama through the stories of the early missionaries and Maori heroes of the faith. These dramatic and heartrending tales of injustice, sacrifice and redemption form an important and often misunderstood backdrop to the wider New Zealand story – one of the most turbulent periods in our history, told with skill, sensitivity and heart.

The occurrence of treaties throughout the Ancient Near East has been investigated on a number of occasions, generally in order to resolve certain questions arising in the biblical field. As a result of that focus, the existence of a similar institution in a number of different cultures has not been treated as a problem in itself. Generally the existence of treaties throughout the area has been taken for granted, or a simple borrowing model has been used to explain how similar forms came to be used in different cultures. Why forms were similar across the area has not been probed. This work investigates treaty occurrences in different cultures and finds that the forms used correlate with ways of maintaining political control both internally and over vassals. Related concepts are projected in official accounts of history. Thus one can roughly distinguish threats based on power from persuasion based on benevolence and historical precedent, though various combinations of these two occur. There is a likely further connection of the means chosen to the degree of centralisation of power within the society. Underlying the local traditions is a common tradition which has to be dated to the pre-literate period. Biblical covenants fit within this pattern. The cultures treated are Mesopotamia, the Hittites, Egypt, Syrian centres and Israel.

"Between two world wars the prophet, healer and political visionary T.W. Ratana rose from obscuirty to take on the mantle of the Maori prophetic and unity movements and rally the broken spirits of a once proud people. From the time of his 'divine' visitation in 1918, T.W. Ratana and his growing band of followers tirelessly worked to unite all Maori under one God and to restore the Treaty of Waitangi to its rightful placa as the founding document of the nation ..."--Publisher's desciption.

THE NEW PEACE TREATY IS A BIBLE THAT SAYS WHAT IT MEANS! THE NEW PEACE TREATY is a translation of the New Testament from the Greek that will make its meaning understandable and come alive. It is written in 21st-century language. Highly theological and often misunderstood religious terms are broken down to their core meaning. Chapter and verse have been removed (because they weren't added until the Middle Ages). THE NEW PEACE TREATY looks like a book and reads like a book. THE NEW PEACE TREATY is in fact the Bible, but it does not look or read like most Bibles. This does not detract from the texts. For many, this allows the text to come alive for the first time! It is the perfect translation allowing reflection and personal devotion. It is also the first translation to look and read like what 1st-century Christians would have heard if they lived in the 21st century. THE NEW PEACE TREATY not only helps Christians read and understand the Bible, it is the perfect translation for those who are not Christian. It is hoped that this translation is a type of "Pentecost in print," allowing readers to understand in their own language what Jesus and the Apostles preached and taught.God does not speak to us in some archaic tongue and then holds accountable for what we do not understand. God wants us to understand the Word - the same Word who came to us as one of us and speaks to us in our own language. God is speaking to you in your own language! Will you listen to what God is saying?
