About the Book

When writer Doug Buckley's town, Sydney, staged Alex Buzo's play Macquarie, the Reverend Samuel Marsden was kitted out throughout with a long black stock-whip in his belt. Indeed, enunciate Samuel Marsden to a Sydneysider and the comeback, even by Christians, will be The Flogging Parson. This offensive label was attached generations after Marsden's death by lesser men who never knew him. Yet does it convey serious truth? Who indeed was the diminutive, larger-than-life senior chaplain to the brutal British convict colony of New South Wales? Why has he been named Apostle to New Zealand? Novelist Doug Buckley retells the story of this versatile and innovative pastor but with a difference, he seeks to write as Sam himself might have written. "Some want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell. I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell." C T Studd

About the Author :
The versatile Doug Buckley is a fifth generation Australian with a strong convict heritage. He was born in country New South Wales and grew up mainly in Broken Hill. As well as lecturing in engineering at universities in Australia, Japan and Europe from an academic base at the University of New South Wales, he has worked widely as a professional engineer in research, planning, construction and finance. His memoir Fragments From a Forgettory was well received. Amongst his long and short fiction, the novel One Black Bureaucrat Moves On was short-listed for the ABC Bicentennial Literary Award. Doug and his English-born wife Rosemary have enjoyed three children, a remarkable twenty-five grandchildren and great-grandchildren and near a dozen of their husbands and wives. Doug and Rosemary live in Sydney in what passes for retirement where they are part of a lively, growing Christian congregation.

Review :
"A man of solid sense, of great good temper, though not refined in his notions or manners, and capable of being made eminently useful." William Wilberforce His "deportment is all times that of a person the most gay and happy ... by far the most cheerful person I met in the colony." Lachlan Macquarie, 1812? "Highly improper and disrespectful." Governor Lachlan Macquarie, 1814
