The book explores the significant influence of the Bible on the process of colonization, particularly in Australia, which serves as a case study for postcolonial criticism. It highlights the interplay between biblical texts and colonial literature, such as explorer journals and poetry, to reveal themes of exodus, exile, translation, identity, and home. By fostering a dialogue between these two fields, it seeks to address the gap in scholarship and demonstrate how biblical narratives have shaped postcolonial discourse.
