This book presents cultural representations of Christ embedded in the imagination and the contested myths of Australian life. The essays attest to the variety and subtlety of neglected or unspoken representations of Christ in Australia. In a land that has often declared itself secular or post-Christian, this volume looks into the Australian imagination, in between the sacred and secular, to see Christ in Australia.
