The story of Ratana retold to the present day in smart illustrated book
Ratana the Prophet by Keith Newman Timely revised edition of Ratana biography highlights lasting legacy of the church and movement he founded When politicians descend onto a small pā near Whanganui every January to kick off the political year, the Ratana name is on everyone’s lips. Yet the life of Tahupotiki Wiremu Ratana, and the history and workings of his church and movement, are less known. At a time where co-governance and The Treaty of Waitangi are at the centre of political debate, the revised edition of Ratana the Prophet is a timely publication.
