The Challenge of the City. the Centenary History of Wesley Central Mission 1893-1993
Howe, Renate & Swain, Shurlee
ISBN: 1-875657-21-5

Neat inscription on front endpage, otherwise in very good order. Digital image available upon request. Australian historians often have been unwilling to acknowledge the importance of religion in their history. Church based organisations tend to be sidelined and the importance of faith as a motivation for human action is ignored. Yet this history demonstrates that Wesley Central Mission has been integral to the history of Melbourne and at times, to the nation. It has made significant contributions to important debates about the relationship of church and society, about philanthropy and cities. -- front fold over blurb social History Good
