An astonishing array of religious inventions and religious movements among the Maoris before 1860 is yielded by a study of contemporary written material. Although often ephemeral and localised in character, these movements nevertheless indicate some of the problems caused by the introduction of Christianity, and some of the problems that the introduction of Christianity did not solve. The purpose of this thesis is to collate some of this information and to consider why these movements arose.
