A View from Down Under
Edited by Michael Bräutigam and Gillian Asquith
Series: Australian College of Theology Monograph Series
Imprint: Wipf and Stock
Michael Bräutigam studied psychology in Germany (University of Trier) and theology in Scotland (University of Edinburgh). He teaches in both disciplines at Melbourne School of Theology. His doctoral dissertation focuses on the Christology of Swiss theologian Adolf Schlatter (1852–1938), published as Union with Christ: Adolf Schlatter’s Relational Christology (Pickwick, 2015). His current research focuses on the integration of theology and psychology with a particular emphasis on Christian identity.
Gillian Asquith studied Oriental Studies (Chinese) at the University of Oxford. After gaining a Postgraduate Certificate in Education from the University of Bristol, Gillian worked in government and private schools in England and Australia. Gillian undertook her theological education at Melbourne School of Theology and is now on faculty there, teaching Koine Greek and New Testament. She is also engaged in doctoral research in the field of biblical lexicography at the Australian Catholic University.
“Brautigam and Asquith have put together an insightful and informative set of perspectives on how we might live well in the strange and shifting moral landscape of the late modern world. It is a wide-ranging, even disparate collection, which moves from the light OT wisdom can shed on the terrain, through to how a willingness to listen and learn may foster more fruitful conversations. This is a volume well worth listening to and learning from.”
—Andrew Sloane, Morling College
“Brautigam and Asquith's edited book speaks thoughtfully through a range of Australian multicultural accents across a vast landscape of issues: from beauty in Edwards, homosexuality in Islam, to assisted dying legislation in Victoria for starters. It unpacks biblical resources from wisdom to Jesus, to a more virtue-based approach. Such rich resources are applied in creative ways, of interest not only for Australians, but for a secular pluralist world.”
—Gordon Preece, University of Divinity
