Thesis (D.Min.)--University of Dubuque Theological Seminary, 2011.

Lamin Sanneh has argued, in Whose Religion is Christianity? The Gospel Beyond the West, that Christianity in Africa experienced an explosive expansion following the end of European colonialism and during the period of national awakening. Bible translation into African indigenous languages brought with it cultural renewal, while encouraging Africans to see Christianity in a more positive light. Christianity flourished only when Africans assumed responsibility for its growth, sans the obstacles presented by the dominance of foreign control. Finally, where African societies preserved the indigenous name for God, Christianity experienced the greatest increase.

520 $a Lamin Sanneh has argued, in Whose Religion is Christianity? The Gospel Beyond the West, that Christianity in Africa experienced an explosive expansion following the end of European colonialism and during the period of national awakening. Bible translation into African indigenous languages brought with it cultural renewal, while encouraging Africans to see Christianity in a more positive light. Christianity flourished only when Africans assumed responsibility for its growth, sans the obstacles presented by the dominance of foreign control. Finally, where African societies preserved the indigenous name for God, Christianity experienced the greatest increase.
520 $a This thesis examines those criteria for Christian expansion in a different cultural and colonial context---Australia. In Africa the colonizers left, while in Australia they did not. And yet, according to a recent Australian national census asking respondents to indicate a religious affiliation, around 70 percent of Indigenous Australians declared that they were Christians. This is a higher percentage proportionally than that in the non-Indigenous Australian population.
520 $a This thesis explores the written history of European colonialism in Australia, including convict transport from Great Britain to Australia from 1788 to 1868, and the effect this had on Indigenous Australians and the subsequent history of the Australian nation since 1788. The thesis also examines the history and impact of missionaries in that colonization process.
520 $a This thesis discovers that despite the horrendous and negative impact of British colonialism on Australia's Indigenous peoples and their cultures, there is evidence that all the factors that Sanneh claims are important were present in the Australian experience---albeit in fractured and incomplete forms. Indeed, as Australia's Indigenous peoples expressed in their own and unique ways, God was present in Australia before the Europeans arrived---a belief shared by a very few exceptional missionaries.
520 $a Finally, this thesis challenges the Australian church to not just look beyond its borders for inspiration and direction in this post-Christendom age, but to listen to the voice and perspective of Australia's Indigenous Christians and peoples, for in that voice and perspective they will more fully know and understand the missio Dei for the Australian church---both present and future.
