Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Arthur Prior (1914-69), the founder of `tense logic', is regarded as New Zealand's greatest 20th-century philosopher. It is commonly believed that the philosopher J.N.D. Findlay lured a young Prior away from theology and his training for the ministry to the world of philosophy. However, as Prior's letters to the poet Ursula Bethell and to his communist cousin Hugh Teague now make clear, he did not simply abandon theological study in order to immerse himself in philosophy - nor does it seem that it was a matter of his disbelieving in theology one minute and believing in philosophy the next. Until World War II, and, it appears, for a time afterwards, Prior seriously considered a career as a religious journalist, especially when travelling and living on the Continent and in England with his first wife, Clare Hunter. During these years, Prior wrote widely on theology and contemporary Christianity. In his correspondence with Ursula Bethell - who called him one of her `young progressives' - and Hugh Teague, Prior discusses in detail his religious and theological thought and his personal beliefs and influences, including his shift from formal theological study into a world of journalism and philosophy. These previously unknown letters, which cover the years from 1936 to 1941 and his time in Dunedin, Wellington, France and London, chronicle a substantial part of a fascinating period in Prior's development, both theologically and philosophically. Prior's letters have been transcribed and annotated for this volume by early Prior scholar Mike Grimshaw. An essay by Mike Grimshaw and an introduction by Prior expert Jack Copeland provide further context, including a brief introduction to tense logic.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Bishops, Boozers, Brethren & Burkhas uses cartoons from 1860s to the present day to discuss the way religion in New Zealand has been represented by our cartoonists. There is no general history of religion in New Zealand so this book is a unique contribution in providing not only a cartoon history of religion in this country but also a history via cartoons. From the 1860s, settlers viewed issues of religion and politics as problematic, but in the main, religion remained part of the fabric of society. However, religion was more of a concern for our cartoonists as New Zealand became an increasingly secular nation from the 1970s onwards. This not only reflects the generation of cartoonists whose work was published from the 1970s but also a shift in New Zealand society more generally. Overall, when religion was less of a contested identity and influence, cartoonists tended to leave religion and the church alone. However, as the country became, very quickly, a secular society from the 1970s onwards, religion was a target of cartoonists. Religion and the religious were increasingly presented as representing religious and social attitudes and beliefs regarded as out of step with a modern society.

Paperback. Condition: Fine. This selection, like its predecessor Spirit in a Strange Land, comprises approximately 100 poems. It is divided into six sections - these sections are frames around the notion of New Zealand identity and the hotly contested debates about who we are: * Iconic Kiwis * Waitangi and beyond* Anzacs * Wealth, welfare, wharfies* Imports and expats * Pacific voicesThe selection presents a wide range of work by well-known and lesser-known New Zealand poets, including Fleur Adcock, Peter Bland, James Brown, Albert Wendt, Robert Sullivan, Les Cleveland, Alistair Te Ariki Campbell, James K Baxter, Allen Curnow, Charles Brasch, Kapka Kassabova, Jenny Bornholdt, Lauris Edmond, Hone Tuwhare, Janet Frame, Keri Hulme, Glen Colquhoun, Kate Camp, ARD Fairburn, Ian Wedde, Anne French, and CK Stead.These poems explore the struggles at the core of attempts to articulate our identity on foreign battlefields, in London and Sydney, Wellington and Auckland, and Cape Reinga to Bluff. While some poets have discovered the heart of our collective consciousness in affluent suburbs, others have located our soul amid bachs on beaches, and in the bush and the back-blocks. Others again have found it on the roads to Parihaka and Bastion Point. New voices from our Pacific are becoming heard alongside even newer Asian ones; these voices challenge and celebrate our ever-increasing diversity.The volume concludes with a substantial essay on the contours of our changing identity. In no other arena is our identity so resonantly deliberated, challenged, and played out than in the eloquent spirituality of our poetry.ABOUT THE EDITORS:Paul Morris is Professor of Religious Studies at Victoria University of Wellington.Harry Ricketts is Associate Professor of English Literature at Victoria University of Wellington.Mike Grimshaw is Lecturer in Religious Studies at the University of Canterbury. 247 pages. …
