Winner of the 2019 NSW Premier’s History Award: Australian History Prize
In this surprising and revelatory history of the Bible in Australia, Meredith Lake gets under the skin of a text that’s been read, wrestled with, preached and tattooed, and believed to be everything from a resented imposition to the very Word of God.
The Bible in Australia explores how the Bible has played a contested but defining role in this country in the hands of Bible-bashers, immigrants, suffragists, evangelists, unionists, writers, artists and Indigenous Australians. (back cover)
