Recenzii

‘The book fills a deep gap in the history of Australian religion and daily life.’
Geoffrey Blainey, Emeritus Professor of History, Melbourne University, Australia

‘This is an excellent read.’
Irish Methodist Newsletter

Methodism in Australia is a landmark volume, and a welcome addition. It provides an authoritative overview, delivered in short, tightly worked and accessibly written chapters. The book is the product of intensive, thorough preparation and research, and it shows.’
Geoffrey Troughton, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, in Australian Historical Studies, 47:2

"Concise and crisp, the chapters of this book make a strong case for the significance of the Methodist tradition in Australia. The significance is pri­marily explained in terms of social impact, and an excellent case is made for the deep impact of Methodism on nineteenth and early twentieth-century Australian life and the differences among the nation s different states. One might .not ordi.narily think ofAusb·alians as influenced by religion but this stereotype is effectively challenged in this book. " - Peter Lineham, Massey University
