Description:In the balance of church and state, and in social structure and culture, Australia’s secular character was determined during the colonial period (1788-1900).The first and largest part of this book, 'The most godless place under heaven', examines the environmental and social context that encouraged godlessness, including the convict system, the bush, materialism and cultural development.The second part, 'God’s house', analyses religious practice and sectarianism.The third part, 'State recognition of religion', examines the state’s policy of denominational even-handedness to ensure social harmony.The fourth part, 'Battle for mind and soul', identifies the challenges to faith that science and critical biblical scholarship posed. Intellectuals aside, most people felt estranged from the churches or indifferent to religion.The final part, 'Am I my brother’s keeper?', explores churchmen’s attempts to foist a moral code on society, and their ambivalent attitudes to society’s poor and distressed.Dr Malcolm Wood is an independent scholar living in Canberra.
