Abstract:
This research paper attempts to construct a Tama o le Va Christology. The
Samoan expression Tama o le Va connotes a person(s) who has brought a sense of
satisfaction or a situation that has ended in a feeling of joy and jubilation. This
expression and its meaning is symbolic of Jesus Christ identity and his salvific message
in particular for a fatherless Australian-Samoan and also others living in the margins.
