Recenzii
This imaginative exploration of spirituality and place is a notable contribution to the history of Christianity in Australia.
Kerrie Handasyde's account of God in the Landscape is beautifully written and elegantly conceived. It shows us how the human experience of faith is essentially 'placed'. This is a profound, challenging and evocative book.
From Balcatta Gospel Hall, to the Liquor Shops of Melbourne, and from The Friends' School Archive, to the sculpture of William Ricketts, this book is a historically rich study of little-recognized Australians-the Protestant Dissenters of colonial Australia, Congregationalists, Salvationists, Churches of Christ, Quakers, and Methodists. It is the story of how men and women of Protestant faith, and of beliefs not known in Australia, learned to find 'God in the landscape.'
Each of the Christian denominations of Australia possesses a distinct ethos, which is rarely evoked in standard accounts. By exploring how their members depict the phenomena of the landscape in various literary genres, Kerrie Handasyde has vividly revealed the character of a whole sector of Australian religion.
Kerrie Handasyde has made a distinctive contribution to Australian religious and literaryhistoriography.
Kerrie Handasyde's historical work is fascinating in its focus on fiction, poetry, novels, travel writing and dramatic performance, rather than denominational histories, to get inside the lived experience of Protestant Dissent. In so doing, it uncovers insights that might otherwise go overlooked.
