Faith and Freedom: Evangelical Christianity in Liberal Australia | Stuart Piggin

Robert ForsythMay 7, 2025

In this episode, we explore the history of evangelical Christianity in Australia with guest Stuart Piggin, a leading historian and author on the subject. Drawing on his extensive research, Piggin unpacks the complex relationship between evangelicalism and liberalism throughout Australian history. We examine how evangelical movements have shaped, and been shaped by, Australia’s evolving political, social, and cultural landscapes—particularly the liberal values of individual freedom, moral reform, and civic responsibility.
