Codrington, RH

…The term is derived from the Melanesian word mana, and has come to be widely used to refer to impersonal supernatural powers, or sometimes to supernatural powers in general, regardless of whether they are personal or impersonal. Mana was introduced in 1891 by R.H. Codrington in his book The Melanesians, and had a great impact on the academic world. This is because the word was considered to contain useful content for explaining and understanding the essential character (supernatural power) of the world's religions.
