Filling a significant gap in the cross-cultural and
cross-disciplinary literature within the field of Pasifika
(Polynesian) and Maori identities and mental health, this volume
focuses on bridging mental health related research and practice
within the indigenous communities of the South Pacific. Much of the
content reflects both differences from and relationships with the
dominant Western theories and practices so often unsuccessfully
applied with these groups. The contributors represent both
experienced researchers and practitioners and address topics such
as research examining traditional and emerging Pasifika identities;
contemporary research and practice in working with Pasifika youth
and adolescents; culturally-appropriate approaches for working with
Pasifika adults; and practices in supervision that have been
developed by Maori and Pasifika practitioners. Chapters include
practice scenarios, research reports, analyses of topical issues,
and discussions about the appropriateness of applying Western
theory in other cultural contexts. As Pasifika cultures are still
primarily oral cultures, the works of several leading Maori and
Pasifika poets that give voice to the changing identities and
contemporary challenges within Pacific communities are also
included.

The growing contemporary interest in spirit possession prompted
scholars to explore the reality of spirit possession in Oceania
today. The first section of this volumes draws on the experience of
those involved in pastoral ministry with people who believe they
are possessed, or those whose particular research interests are the
relationship of faith, culture, and praxis. In the second section,
the function and place of spirit language in the biblical texts is
examined, while in the last section the focus is broader,
addressing some of the historical responses to spirit possession,
as well as emerging pneumatologies of good and bad spirits and
their impact on the human condition.

In popular culture, the Bible is generally associated with films:
The Passion of the Christ, The Ten Commandments, Jesus of Montreal,
and many others. Less attention has been given to the relationship
between the Bible and other popular media such as hip-hop, reggae,
rock, and country and western music; popular and graphic novels;
animated television series; and apocalyptic fantasy. This
collection of essays explores a range of media and the way the
Bible features in them, applying various hermeneutical approaches,
engaging with critical theory, and providing conceptual resources
and examples of how the Bible reads popular culture and how popular
culture reads the Bible. This useful resource will be of interest
for both biblical and cultural studies. The contributors are Elaine
M. Wainwright, Michael Gilmour, Mark McEntire, Dan W. Clanton Jr.,
Philip Culbertson, Jim Perkinson, Noel Leo Erskine, Tex Sample,
Roland Boer, Terry Ray Clark, Steve Taylor, Tina Pippin, Laura
Copier, Jaap Kooijman, Caroline Vander Stichele, and Erin Runions.
