Australian Christian Life from 1788: An Introduction

Rating:
Summary: Great book overall!!
Review: I have never read any of Iain H. Murray's books before, but i will now. This book deals with the little known history of Christianity in Australia. He uses extensive quotes and primary sources (many of them the personal correspondence of the people he writes about, as well as personal accounts etc.) and it includes a map and many illustrations made from those times. Being an Australian Christian pastor himself, he does not only the history justice, but the presentation of it as well. i was very pleasantly surprised.
It is only an introduction, so it necessarily takes more of an overview, but it goes into the right amount of detail that you would expect. Needless to say, it is well worth the purchase. Just right for a layman interested in the Christianity of Australia.
