Catch the Bird but Watch the Wave

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This excellent work by Fatilua continues the standard of using Vernon K. Robbins’s socio-historical approach with other hermeneutics, methods, and interpretations to integrate the Samoan language, society, institutions, and culture into biblical interpretations. Fatilua, as a tautai (fisherman or steersman) in this book, has caught the bird of finding the meaning of the text relevant to his Samoan context while watching other waves of interpretations of the text. Tautai A’e (Great work)!”
