The Holy Spirit And The Nineteenth-Century Mission To Hawaii, Paul Miller
The Holy Spirit And The Nineteenth-Century Mission To Hawaii, Paul Miller
Spiritus: ORU Journal of Theology
This article explores the missionary successes and failures of nineteenth- century Hawaii. It then explores the Holy Spirit connection to these successes and the lack of such a connection regarding the failures. It suggests missionary failures in the area of supernaturalism and Holy Spirit listening, failures to which the missionaries were particularly prone given their almost mono-focus on “civilization” and “education.” It then suggests native Hawaiian failures in, first, addressing their depopulation problem and, second, in attaining their aspirations of economic progress. Finally, facing these failures, it probes certain Holy Spirit perspectives as their potential solution.
