"My purpose, firstly, is to trace the progress of Christianity from the arrival of the initial ‘low church’ Anglican evangelicals and Methodists, to the arrival of the Presbyterians, Baptists, and other church groups, highlighting the significant contributors (Doyens) and some of the events that shaped a Christian society in Australia....
"My purpose, firstly, is to trace the progress of Christianity from the arrival of the initial ‘low church’ Anglican evangelicals and Methodists, to the arrival of the Presbyterians, Baptists, and other church groups, highlighting the significant contributors (Doyens) and some of the events that shaped a Christian society in Australia. Secondly, I touch on some of the doctrinal disputes in the 19th and early 20th Centuries that led to the establishment of several Presbyterian groups. Of particular interest to this author is the damage caused by events leading up to the constitutional crisis in the Free Church of Scotland in 1892/1893 and 1900, and the impact that had in Australia. It is important that the history of Australia's rich Christian heritage is made available to a new generation of readers in a readable and engaging format, in the hope that they too may seek to be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ and be called to repentance and belief in the saving efficacy of the atoning sacrifice of God's Beloved Son." - From the Author
"Calvin MacKenzie has provided a wide-angled snapshot of the often chequered and colourful history of Christianity in Australia, from its earliest rise to the late 20th Century. Personal reflections and biblical commentary add to the incisive focus on significant figures whom the Lord raised up as a cloud of witnesses. The resulting tapestry is a record of divine grace in numerous lives and congregations still alive in spite of the overhanging clouds in the foreground. Identifying the roots of the present-day defection from Reformed Calvinism, the historical knowledge and training of a living commentator show vividly the need in every age to earnestly contend for the faith. Surveying the gallery of Christian men and women who strove to walk in the old paths, esteemed by only too few in the modern-day Australian church, will give readers ample argument why they should take the prophet's advice and ask for these and walk therein." - Rev. David Campbell
