How has the figure of Jesus been understood in Australia? What unexpected mid-century (1950s) perspectives continue to influence Australian religious and secular culture? The Jesus in Australia Research Project is running a 2-day symposium with new research in multiple discipline areas. A forum discussion, ‘Christianity in Conversation’, provides opportunity to talk with leading thinkers about the place of Christ and Christianity in the contemporary world.

Speakers include:
Professor Emeritus Bill Ashcroft (UNSW)
Professor John Carroll (La Trobe)
Dr Meredith Lake (ABC radio Soul Search)
Professor Lynette McCredden (Deakin)
Associate Professor Paul Watt (Adelaide)
