The religious beliefs of Australia's Prime Ministers 1901-2013 WHICH OF OUR PRIME MINISTERS BELIEVED IN GOD? Most of Australia's leaders since Federation believed in God. Some were serious Christians and very few were indifferent towards religion. In this timely and original book, Roy Williams examine s the spiritual life of each of our Prime Ministers from Edmund Barton to Julia Gillard. He explores the ways in which for good and ill their beliefs (or agnosticism) shaped the history and development of the nation. Featuring extensive interviews with John Howard and Kevin Rudd, and pulling no punches, IN GOD THEY TRUST? will appeal to voters across party lines and excite plenty of debate among believers and non-believers alike. AUTHOR: Roy Williams won the Sydney University Medal in law in 1986 and practised as a litigator for almost 20 years at one of the country's leading firms. He now writes full-time. His first book, God, Actually, a rational defence of Christianity, was a best-seller in Australia and has since been published in Britain and North America. REVIEWS: "I thought that God, Actually was one of the best statements of reasoned faith that I have read. I loved it." Tim Costello "Williams has not only done a lot of hard thinking and reading, he has the literary skills to do justice to his views." Fiona Capp, The Age (Melbourne)
