—Religious Studies Review
April 2007
Trompf continues the work of predecessors who have thus served other parts of the Pacific region in earlier volumes of the series. He cites and evaluates 2,188 books and articles on the religion of Melanesia as a whole, and of various regions within it, including New Guinea, Papua, Vanuatu, and Fiji. Cultures, authors, titles, and subjects are indexed separately.

Description:
Melansia boasts over one-quarter of the world's distinct religions and presents the most complex religious panorama on earth. The region is famous for its unusual new religious movements that have adapted traditional beliefs to modernity in surprising ways. As the first bibliographical survey to comprehensively cover the entire region,
Religions of Melansia
is an invaluable reserach aid for anyone interested in this growing field. Trompf's work is a complete listing of scholarly publications and provides readable and concise descriptions that will clearly guide the researcher toward the most relevant sources.
This survey covers 2188 entries organized topically and regionally. Trompf covers such subjects as traditional and modern belief systems and the emergent indigenous Christianity that has taken root. Regional coverage includes Irian Jaya, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, and Fiji.
