In these islands, from the Indonesian Province of Irian Jaya in the west to Fiji in the east, there is the most complex ethnographic situation on earth. About one fifth of the distinct languages, cultures and religions of the world are found in this area alone, and this complexity is best shown from the large island of New Guinea, the second largest island on the planet. Many of the separate cultures are in landlocked valleys in the mountains, and many in the scattered islands close to the big one. All these cultures were 'Stone Age ones, technologically simple and, without supreme chieftains or kings, tribes or clans within each linguistic and cultural complex have typically fought each other, and also intermarried and made exchanges with each other of pigs, yams and other valued objects.

Little or no new material has come to light concerning some other groups than those reflected at Nag Hammadi - the Marconites, for example, and the followers of Bardesanes. These last mentioned groupings, together with the later Valentinians, are the very ones involved in the Adamantius Dialogue. The book is written in the form of a dialogue between a member of the Catholic Church and various heretical opponents who debate with him in turn.

Religious Traditions: A New Journal in the Study of Religion / Journal of Studies in the Bhagavadgita, 1987

Do missiologists have a near-consensus methodology, however, and is it important to establish their activity as a scientific discipline? This paper indends to go some way towards answering these questions, yet to do so only by focussing on a manageable issue. I have chosen as a springboard for discussion the typology of (socio-)religious movements within the history of Christianity, because the problem of describing 'new developments' which have emerged within or on the fringes of the Christian fold (since New Testament times) nicely illustrates the tension between (a) the use of a vocabulary and interpretation which suits the needsof the believing community, and (b) the adoption of verbiage andanalytical categories to satisfy the requirements of science. A bigconundrum to be faced, after all, is whether missiology is a discipline which has been expected, if not designed from the start specifically to serve the ekklesia katholika and not to rate among the special 'social sciences' (so-called). A consideration of the terminologies both missiologists and social scientists can employ to analyze religious movements will help unravel this puzzle, which has everything to do with the issue of missiology's methodogical bases
