The author of numerous articles and books, including Church Growth and the Word of God and Introduction to Missiology, Dr. Tippett died in Canberra in 1988. The legacy of his writings, in English and in Fijian, will live on for years to come.

Tippett believed his writings on ethnohistory were his most original contribution to the discipline of missiology. The wealth of material in Fullness of Time is his best ethnohistory writing—most of which has never been published.
