Summary: "The essays in this book offer insights into New Zealand's religious past, often through the prism of one southern region, Otago. By graduate students of the University of Otago, the book considers many aspects of the country's ever-changing religious landscape, including the bishop who declared himself an Irishman first, a Catholic second and a Christian third."--Jacket.
