Recovering the Experience of the Indigenous Evangelist in the Expansion of Christianity during the late Colonial Era

宗教与社会的关系是澳大利亚人非常感兴趣的当代问题。该项目将为目前关于宗教在社会中的作用的全国性辩论提供重要的比较说明。容忍社会差异是宗教历史传播的核心，也是宗教成功地使来自不同文化的人皈依共同的基本信仰，同时继续拥抱和庆祝文化差异的核心。 澳大利亚在传教和后殖民研究领域本已强大的国际研究形象将因与主要期刊和国际出版社合作出版的出版物而得到进一步加强。

The relationship between religion and society is an issue of outstanding contemporary interest to Australians. The project will provide important comparative illustrations for the national current debate on the role of religion in society. Tolerance of social difference is at the heart of the historical spread of religions and their success in converting people from different cultures to share basic beliefs whilst continuing to embrace and celebrate cultural difference. Australia's already strong international research profile in the field of mission and postcolonial studies will be further enhanced by the resulting publications with leading journals and international publishing houses.
