Burning or BushedPaul F. Cooper & David A. Burke (eds), Burning or Bushed: The Presbyterian Church of Australia 40 years on
(Eider Books, 2017) This book seeks to examine the life of the Presbyterian Church of Australia (PCA) and how it has fared in the 40 years since the momentous events of Church Union in 1977. Is it bushed and directionless, worn out and waiting to pass away? Or is it still on fire for the Lord and his work? |
