Summary: This book examines the theology of God from an Oceanian point of view, using a Tuvaluan relational philosophy called 'Vaa fesokotaki' which literally means, the relational sacred space. Vaa fesokotaki is used as the hermeneutical lens through which to redefine the theology of te Atua. It refers to the deeply interconnected and multifaceted 'relational space' which defines the Tuvaluan (and the Oceanian) world view.
