Discussion — Saints and Stirrers: Christianity, Conflict, and Peacemaking in New Zealand, 1814-1945

Philip Fountain et al. | Wednesday, 28th March, 2018

The following is a series of reviews of and reflections on Geoffrey Troughton’s important volume, Saints and Stirrers: Christianity, Conflict and Peacemaking in New Zealand, 1814-1945 (Wellington: Victoria University Press, 2016). The final contribution is Troughton's own response to the previous reflections. It's a wonderfully thoughtful discussion, and well worth a read. Enjoy!
