Marvellous Melbourne with David Bebbington

The Charles Perry Lecture in Melbourne Evangelical History 2025
Marvellous Melbourne: A Representative Denominational Society in the Nineteenth-Century Evangelical World

Episode Description
This lecture highlights the distinctive evangelical character of “Marvellous Melbourne” in the nineteenth century. As the richest city in the world at the time, Melbourne’s denominations embodied a vision for church and society, which has had powerful and ongoing impact, and is most clearly represented in the design of the Melbourne General Cemetery.
