This book traces the life of William Cross, Christian missionary in the South Pacific. Born in England in 1797, Cross worked in Tonga for 8 years.

In the next 7 years until his death in 1842, Cross established Christian churches in some of the most important Fijian chiefdoms. A particular focus of the book is the religious dialogue between Fijian traditional beliefs and new Christian ideas.
