![]() ![]() Stuart has also played a critical role in public reception of new research in religious history, including presentations to the first National Forum on Australia’s Christian Heritage in Parliament House, Canberra and establishing the Centre for the Study of Australian Christianity during the period he was Master of Robert Menzies College at Macquarie University from 1990 to 2004. His landmark work, Evangelical Christianity in Australia: Spirit, Word and Work (OUP, 1996) defined a new agenda for the interpretation of the influence of Protestant Christianity – and of religion generally – in Australian history, politics and society. While his most distinguished contribution to international religious history has been focused on the history of Evangelical Christianity, Stuart has also written a critical history of the Mount Kembla Disaster of 1902 (OUP, 1992) and his work has spanned the full range of critical, social and political studies of Evangelical Christianity in the English-speaking world. Since the publication of his ground-breaking doctoral thesis, Making Evangelical Missionaries, 1789-1858 (1984), Stuart Piggin has published more than 100 academic articles and seven books, a number of which have become classics in the field. ![]()
