Summary

"The Lloyd Geering Reader: Prophet of Modernity is the first collection of the writings of Lloyd Geering, covering a period of nearly fifty years. This collection draws on his books, articles, occasional writings, published lectures, and unpublished materials which appear here for the first time. Its importance is that it provides another form of autobiography - the development of New Zealand's leading public intellectual and his fascinating coverage of the place and role of religion in the modern world, both nationally and internationally."--BOOK JACKET.
