The Bible reflects the fundamental narratives of Europeans. It contains narratives which are fundamental to a British belief system – eg. Genesis

Argument/ claim of essayThe Maori Bible has changed from a tool of British colonisation to a valuable learning resource of Ngapuhi dialect
Point to makeRecord of the influence the missionaries had during the period of colonisation.
1. Maori in the Far North were converted to Christianity very early in New Zealand’s history using Te Paipera Tapu.
2. The Maori Bible was created by Reverend Mr. Maunsell, an Irish missionary in the Far North, who translated the English Bible into Ngapuhi dialect because it removed the language barrier between the English missionaries and Maori and would speed up the Christian conversion process (Maunsell, 1858).
3. Te Paipera Tapu enjoyed an initial popularity, but the success of the missionaries came with the subsequent translation of the new testament in 1837 (Lineham, n.d.).
4. By the end of the 1840s there were 72,000 copies available in Maori (Lineham, n.d.), showing that Te Paipera Tapu was a successful publication.
5. The process of developing Te Paipera Tapu left an historic record of the translation process, manufacturing the book and distribution which shows the significant influence that missionaries had during colonisation.
