520 $a This dissertation is divided into four parts that will allow historical analysis of Christianity from 1788 to 1838 in New South Wales, and a theological reflection in the light of this analysis.
520 $a This dissertation arises out of a need to understand the origins of Christian witness within Australian society and how such origins have influenced the effectualness of the gospel within Aboriginal life and white settlement. Such origins have laid foundations for mission and evangelism strategies that cry out for review. The Christian witness that is primarily Protestant and Catholic in Australia still carries the baggage of religious trauma that was experienced in the first fifty years of white settlement and resultant aboriginal conquest.
520 $a <italic>Part One. The dreamtime and the search for the great south land </italic>. The purpose of this part is to show the critical exchange that took place between Aboriginal culture and Western Culture and, in particular, the British form of that culture: a crisis in spiritual perception.
520 $a <italic>Part Two. The origins of Christianity in the penal colony: The Church of England</italic>. The purpose of this part is to examine the incongruity of the Chaplains of the Anglican Church who, as magistrates of the law courts, found themselves preachers of mercy and pronouncers of judgment to a convict community already subject to condemnation.
520 $a <italic>Part Three. The planting of denominational Christianity in a colonial gaol: The Catholics, the Independents</italic> (<italic>non-conformists </italic>), <italic>the Presbyterians, and the Methodists</italic>. The purpose of this part is to portray the denominational expectations that developed, creating sectarian strife and a confusion of purpose for the clergy of each of the denominations. Each struggled with the environment in which they were called to minister. Competition and condemnation did not enhance their coping in birthing Christianity in Australia.
520 $a <italic>Part Four. Theological reflection on the origins of Australia with special reference to the Trinitarian Incarnational Model</italic>. The purpose of this part is to use the Trinitarian Incarnational Model to address the issues of condemnation, racism, moralism, legalism, religionlessness, pragmatism. All of these come as baggage today over which the church stumbles. What can be an authentic Christian response to these legacies and current issues of concern?
520 $a The goal of this dissertation is to provide an historical analysis and theological reflection that will encourage my peers to review with me the issues of an authentic Christianity in Australia and give direction to our evangelizing today. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
