It examines religion in several different ways: historical development, belief systems and controversies, as well as the social role each faith plays in modern Australian society.

Richly illustrated, it includes a section dedicated to current debates and issues in modern-day Australia, such as the place of religion in politics, fundamentalism, religious education and social cohesion.
