This book shows how creative writing gives voice to the drama and
nuance of religious experience in a way that is rarely captured by
sermons, reports, and the minutes of church meetings. The author
explores the history of religious Dissent and Evangelicalism in
Australia through a variety of literary responses to landscape,
from both men and women, lay and ordained. The book explores
transnational themes, along with themes of migration and travel
across the Australian continent. The author gives insight into the
literature of Protestant Dissent, concerned as it is with travel,
belonging, and the intersection of national and religious identity.
Much of the writing is situated on the road: a soldier returning
from the Great War, a child on a lone adventure, a night-time
journey through urban slums; all of these are in some way dependent
on the theme of "walking with Jesus" as the Holy Land travelogues
make explicit. God in the Landscape draws the links between
landscape, literature, and spirituality with imagination and
insight and is an important contribution to the historical study of
religion and the environment.
