NZ Religious History

Peter Lineham's Publications in the Religious History of New Zealand

In this page you can have access to a number of my publications. At present they are Word or RTF documents for you to print and/or save. Soon they should be available as pdf files.

You are welcome to download these but please note that they are copyright to me, and you should in all cases acknowledge their use.

Currently Transplanted Christianity, edited by myself and Allan K. Davidson of St John's College, and first published in 1987, is out of print, as we work on a new edition. In the meantime students of New Zealand history are welcome to download the files of text, on the above conditions. We would also welcome suggestions for changes and new material. The following is the text of the fourth edition (Published by the Department of History, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand, in 1997, ISBN 0-9583699-0-0). It is copyright to Dr Davidson and myself.

Chapter One: The Age of Missions, 1814-1850

Chapter Two: Church and State in European New Zealand before 1875

Chapter Three: Christianity and the Maori 1850-1985

Chapter Four: The Churches and Colonial Society, 1875-1914

Chapter Five: Between Two Wars, 1914-1945

Chapter Six: Religion and Society 1945-1985

A new edition is nearly ready and includes a shortened chapter six covering the years 1945-1970 and a new chapter seven covering the years 1970-2000

A further tool which has been widely of use to New Zealand religious historians is my New Zealand Religious History, a Bibliography. This is a very extensive Bibliography, currently running to some 3200 items. Again, the web is a very convenient way to keep it updated. This is the bibliography as it stands in February 2005. I am very grateful to the editors of the annual Religious History Newsletter for many items added. The bibliography is copyright to me. It is organised in subjects, alphabetically, and you are welcome to download and use it. I would be grateful for new or corrected items to be submitted to me, and I am happy at any time to provide an individualised search on a topic of interest. All the topics are listed below:
