Seeing Christ in Australia Since 1850: Histories of the Sacred and Secular, 1700–2000

Editat de Kerrie Handasyde, Sean Winter
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 oct 2024
This book presents cultural representations of Christ embedded in the imagination and the contested myths of Australian life.  The essays attest to the variety and subtlety of neglected or unspoken representations of Christ in Australia. In a land that has often declared itself secular or post-Christian, this volume looks into the Australian imagination, in between the sacred and secular, to see Christ in Australia.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

‘Using the common lens of storytelling, Seeing Christ in Australia Since 1850 presents a rich and diverse collection of essays that trace the multifaceted presences of Jesus in culture. The essays are provocative and thoughtful, surveying an impressive range of cultural work. I learned a lot from the book, and I hope it receives the widest possible audience.’
     -- Philip Jenkins, Distinguished Professor of History, Baylor University, USA
 
‘This is an extraordinary, and overwhelmingly successful, attempt to “see” the Christ figure in the contemporary culture of Australia. The editors have skilfully brought together contributors who exemplify their claim that there is something distinctive about Australian “sightings” of Christ, characterized by an elusiveness that defies domestication. The result is a fascinating, well-documented and highly original volume, essential reading not only for those interested in Australian religion, but for all who want to learn how to see the form of the Christ in the modern world.’
     --  Paul S. Fiddes, Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Oxford, UK
