Missionaries arrived in 1820, and most of the aliʻi converted to Christianity, including Kaʻahumanu and Keōpūolani, but it took 11 years for Kaʻahumanu to proclaim laws against ancient religious practices. “Worshipping of idols such as sticks, stones, sharks, dead bones, ancient gods and all untrue gods is prohibited. There is one God alone, Jehovah. He is the God to worship <ref> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_religion </ref>. | |||
With the arrival of other immigrant groups, particularly early explorers in the early 1800s, many Hawaiians practice Buddhism, Shinto, and Christianity <ref> http://www.everyculture.com/multi/Ha-La/Hawaiians.html </ref>. | |||
Actual written records did not exist until the 1800's. The Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) were translated in 1828. The rest of the New Testament was translated in 1832, the Old Testament was translated in 1839, and the translation was revised in 1868. <ref> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_translations_into_Oceanic_languages </ref> | |||
