Description:
Suisse: University Press, 1992 « The book offers a description of the Wosera male initiation rites from various perspectives. Beginning with a general background of the wider religious, cultural, and ritual context of Melanesia, and a detailed description of the Wosera male initiation, the author analyses its religious and cultural meaning. From understanding the meaning of traditional initiation, he shifts to the stage of dialogue, integration, and inculturation with the present-day situation of Christianity. While this thesis is focused on a particular case study, the general methodology, results, and reflections also have some pertinence for other situations, especially in Melanesia.». Soft cover.
