Abstract
The word “pawa” in Melanesian Pidgin and its equivalents in local vernaculars present key concepts in traditional Melanesian cosmologies as well as in the ideology of adjustment movements and in Christian folk-religion. This study explores Melanesian and biblical perspectives of “pawa”. It was designed both to assist pastoral communication and to stimulate further theological discussion on an issue which is vital in a Melanesian context.
