Methodism in Australia Summary

Methodism in Australia: A History by Glen O'Brien (Booth College, Australia)

Methodism has played a major role in all areas of public life in Australia but has been particularly significant for its influence on education, social welfare, missions to Aboriginal people and the Pacific Islands and the role of women. Drawing together a team of historical experts, Methodism in Australia presents a critical introduction to one of the most important religious movements in Australia's settlement history and beyond. Offering ground-breaking regional studies of the development of Methodism, this book considers a broad range of issues including Australian Methodist religious experience, worship and music, Methodist intellectuals, and missions to Australia and the Pacific.

Methodism in Australia Reviews

'The book fills a deep gap in the history of Australian religion and daily life.'

Geoffrey Blainey, Emeritus Professor of History, Melbourne University, Australia

'This is an excellent read.'

Irish Methodist Newsletter

'Methodism in Australia is a landmark volume, and a welcome addition. It provides an authoritative overview, delivered in short, tightly worked and accessibly written chapters. The book is the product of intensive, thorough preparation and research, and it shows.'

Geoffrey Troughton, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, in Australian Historical Studies, 47:2
