Nai Votavota Ni i Nuinui
"John Hunt was a Wesleyan missionary in Fiji for just a decade, 1839-1848. Nevetheless his work was of such impact that he ensured the eventual conversion of the Fijians to Christianity. [This book] examines Hunt's upbringing and training in England, his marriage to Hannah Summers and their time of missionary work in Fiji. Surrounded constantly by the vitality and prosperity of a warlike yet welcoming people, Hunt introduced Western ideals of education and medicine togetrher with the religious and ethical principles of Christianity. His theological forms of education in Fiji as well as his many translations, including the first Fijian New testament, are enduring testimonies to his work."--Back cover
