Description

This book examines how various religious beliefs and institutions have influenced Australia's history. While focusing on Christianity, Thompson also looks at Aboriginal spirituality as well as religions like Judaism and Islam. His study offers a greater understanding of Australian political cultures deriving from religious sectarianism and the often tense relationship between church and state. - from Amzon
