Yet theology still speaks deeply to many people in Australia, both inside and outside the Christian churches. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book presents a series of conversations with prominent Australians about how theological ideas and religious practices inform their contribution to public life.

This is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of eleven people who reflect on what their lives and work might mean in a world that is loved by God. - Foreword by Archbishop Kay Goldsworthy AO DD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe participants: Deborah Barker, Rufus Black, Frank Brennan, Libby Byrne, Julie Edwards, Dan Fleming, Stan Grant, Sean Lau, Anne Pattel-Gray, Tony Rinaudo and Kevin Rudd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 126\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 30, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53909954658611,"sku":"9781922589453","price":28.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/LNcXld5M8C9781922589453.webp?v=1787834301","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/theology-matters-how-thinking-about-god-shapes-australia-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
