Description: A look at the history of the missionary in New Zealand - covering everything from the lead-up to Samuel Marsden's first sermon, to the Treaty of Waitangi and the disillusionment which led to the 1860s Land Wars - and also discussing the role of the missionary in spreading Christianity, lobbying for peace and promoting literacy by publishing the first indigenous-language bible in the Southern Hemisphere.
