Abstract
"As Van Diemen's Land's first Christian church, closely tied to the government of a vice-ridden penal colony, St David's hosted for several decades a large, influential and at times quarrelsome congregation. Following its elevation to cathedral status, St David's would become a focus of controversies - especially but not exclusively between Evangelicals and Tractarians... 'God and the City' tracks the changing fortunes of St David's clergy and congregation across nearly two centuries, including their interactions with the Hobart community and, for much of the period, their identification with Tasmania's social and political 'establishment' "--Jacket.
