The Bible In Australia : A Cultural History
Paperback Edition: 1
Koby Abberton emerges like a shark on to the sand at Maroubra Beach. Tattooed from shoulder to shoulder, his body bares letters like teeth: My brothers keeper.
In this surprising and revelatory history of the Bible in Australia, Meredith Lake gets under the skin of a text thats 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 in the hands of Bible-bashers, immigrants, suffragists, evangelists, unionists, writers, artists and Indigenous Australians, the Bible has played a contested but defining role in this country.
