1 [Review] The Bible In Australia: A Cultural History Rick Strelan , 2018 single work review
— Appears in: The Australian Journal of Politics and History , vol. 64 no. 3 2018; (p. 502-503)

'With a fluent, anecdote‐punctuated style, Meredith Lake traces the history of the Bible in Australian culture from the colonial days, through the “Great Age of the Bible”, into the formation of “nationhood” and the two World Wars, and concluding in contemporary “secular Australia”. There are few surprises in this history; the author thinks the Bible is historically significant, and that it still makes a valuable contribution in contemporary Australian culture.'  (Introduction)
