Overview

Making the Word of God Fully Known is a collection of essays on church, culture, and mission relevant for the Australian church in honor of the sixty-fifth birthday of Archbishop Philip Freier, archbishop of Melbourne. The essays cover aspects of mission strategy, ministry of women, ministry to Australian indigenous people, responding to past history of child sexual abuse, and issues of liturgy and ecclesiology. The target is Australian ministers and laypeople. The essays largely come from Melbourne, a richly diverse Anglican diocese and reflect the priorities and strategies of Archbishop Freier's thirteen years as archbishop.

An enjoyable and engaging read, this volume is a fitting tribute to a person who has dedicated his life to 'making the Word of God fully known'--as a teacher, academic, deacon, priest, bishop, archbishop, and primate. Reflective of Philip Freier's own broad interests and concerns, this diverse collection of essays speaks to the variety of expressions of the Anglican faith in Australia, and as such, has a great deal to offer readers in this province and around the communion. --Robert Derrenbacker, Dean, Frank Woods Associate Professor in New Testament, Trinity College Theological School
