This study surveys the recent history of New Zealand's debate about what constitutes justice for the Maori people, who, aboriginal and still deeply affected by colonization and modernization, comprise about ten percent of the nation's population. Surveying concepts of justice, Sharp defines the scope and limits of each, and argues that justice is not the only political virtue extant.

Should Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand, be compensated for past wrongs at the hands of the colonizing Pakeha? Should special programs be set up which treat Maori and Pakeha differently--either because Maori have been wronged or because they are worse off than the Pakeha? Or should there be one law, one way of treating both peoples and one "justice" for all? Justice and the Maori records New Zealanders debating these questions since the 1970s. It is at once a history book, and a book on the philosophy of identity, sovereignty and justice. It speaks to universal questions of justice in the distribution of authority and property, as to what it is to be a member of an ethnic group, and as to whether being a member of an ethnic group can act as the basis of special claims against those not of that group. It speaks to anyone interested in these matters, not just to New Zealanders. In this new edition, the author traces the history of Maori and government relations since 1990.

This book explores the foundations of the ISIS/IS terror organization whose violent and stunning victories have galvanized the world. It seeks to not only tell the story of its history; but perhaps most importantly, explain its funding, leadership, motivations and ultimate goals and vision through an intelligent and thoughtful perspective that examines where Western leadership went wrong and the often cynical calculations that have been made. Ironically, many of those decisions not only damaged relations with the Arab world but—as perceptive readers are sure to discover—policies that damaged their home countries as well. It also critically examines Middle Eastern history through Arab eyes in its relations with the West; making the case that understanding our rivals is a testament to strength not weakness. Constant references and comparisons are made to past historical events so that readers are continually reminded the importance of learning from history and its evolving characteristics. The book concludes with thoughtful recommendations on how the West should respond to the turmoil in the Middle East along with the prospects for the most probable outcomes.

New Zealanders know Samuel Marsden as the founder of the CMS missions that brought Christianity (and perhaps sheep) to New Zealand. Australians know him as ‘the flogging parson’ who established large landholdings and was dismissed from his position as magistrate for exceeding his jurisdiction. English readers know of Marsden for his key role in the history of missions and empire. In this major biography spanning research, and the subject’s life, across England, New South Wales and New Zealand, Andrew Sharp tells the story of Marsden’s life from the inside. Sharp focuses on revealing to modern readers the powerful evangelical lens through which Marsden understood the world. By diving deeply into key moments – the voyage out, the disputes with Macquarie, the founding of missions – Sharp gets us to reimagine the world as Marsden saw it: always under threat from the Prince of Darkness, in need of ‘a bold reprover of vice’, a world written in the words of the King James Bible. Andrew Sharp takes us back into the nineteenth-century world, and an evangelical mind, to reveal the past as truly a foreign country.

This book is the first comprehensive attempt to assess an Orthodox Christian ‘position’ on Islam. It demonstrates how a growing number of ordained and lay leaders have reframed the discussion within the Orthodox Church, while participating in dialogue with Muslims.
