To Thrash The Offending Adam Out Of Them: The Theology Of Violence In The Writings Of Great War Anzacs, Daniel Reynaud, Jane L. Fernandez-Goldborough
To Thrash The Offending Adam Out Of Them: The Theology Of Violence In The Writings Of Great War Anzacs, Daniel Reynaud, Jane L. Fernandez-Goldborough
Daniel Reynaud
The Anzac legend is often acclaimed as Australia’s unifying secular faith. However, there are significant connections between Christianity and Anzac. While the responses of the churches at home during the Great War have been well studied, this chapter examines the variety of the responses of Christian soldiers and chaplains at the front. In this context, this study engages Girard’s theory of sacralised violence as a framework for defining and critiquing religious responses to the war of fighting men. Was the war a crusade, a civilising mission, a just war, a necessary evil or something other?
The Legend Of William Mckenzie, Anzac Chaplain, Daniel Reynaud
The Legend Of William Mckenzie, Anzac Chaplain, Daniel Reynaud
Daniel Reynaud
William McKenzie was a Chaplain in the First AIF who achieved legendary status during and after the Great War. Stories about him abounded, some gaining sufficient credibility to be included in formal biographies and entries in published dictionaries of biography. This paper explores the legends and seeks to establish their factuality, as well as attempt to explain the source, motivation and reason for the success of the legends.
The Enigma Of Jesus In The Gospel Of John, Daniel Reynaud
The Enigma Of Jesus In The Gospel Of John, Daniel Reynaud
Daniel Reynaud
The Jesus presented in John’s Gospel is mysterious and enigmatic. Frequently he makes ambiguous statements which are misunderstood, only becoming clear after certain incidents have occurred. The mysterious Jesus of this Gospel points consistently to a God who knows the future and foreshadows it in language which is enigmatic at the time of utterance, but becomes transparent once future events have come to pass. These statements act not as predictors of the future, but as reassurance for His followers that He can be trusted with the future.
The Invaded Invading The Invaders, Daniel Reynaud
The Invaded Invading The Invaders, Daniel Reynaud
Daniel Reynaud
This article explores the impact of working on an anthology of Romanian poetry on an Australian academic. Having some exposure to world literature, the scholar discovers a new realm of poetic experience in a formerly obscure literary tradition previously almost inaccessible to Anglo scholarship. The article seeks to frame Romanian poetry in its broader historical context, as situate it in world literature.
South Pacific Cultures And The Concept And Practice Of History, Daniel Reynaud
South Pacific Cultures And The Concept And Practice Of History, Daniel Reynaud
Daniel Reynaud
The practice of history is often assumed to be transparent and universal, but in fact it is a highly specialised phenomenon which exists only in certain societies. This raises problems for those writing about cultures where the practice of history has not traditionally existed, one such region being the South Pacific. A better understanding of the oral nature of Pacific societies and the way in which this affects one’s understanding of the past will be helpful to the historian of this region, and others like it.
Religion And The Anzac Legend On Screen, Daniel Reynaud
Religion And The Anzac Legend On Screen, Daniel Reynaud
Daniel Reynaud
This article explores the (non)relationship between religion and the Anzac story in Australian cinema and television dramas. It draws parallels between the absence of religious discussion in written literature and popular memory and the same absences in Anzac cinema. Anzac cinema has idealised and glorified the Anzac soldier, relocating spirituality from a religious force to a secular nationalism. The rare productions that show an engagement between religion and Anzac portray religion as a spent force in comparison to the new spirit of secular Anzac.

Spielberg- Is He Or Isn't He An Artist?, Daniel Reynaud
Daniel Reynaud
Spielberg has often been considered a master of popular cinema, but something of a lightweight in serious cinema. This article evaluates Spielberg’s achievements as a filmmaker, asking whether he deserves the accolade of an artist.
Lest We Forget: Fighting Mac, The Army And Contemporary Australia, Daniel Reynaud
Lest We Forget: Fighting Mac, The Army And Contemporary Australia, Daniel Reynaud
Daniel Reynaud
One of the jewels in the crown of The Salvation Army in Australia is the life and ministry of Commissioner William McKenzie. Once almost universally known across the country as ‘Fighting Mac,’ McKenzie’s work at Corps, Divisional and Territorial level had a huge impact, and yet was dwarfed by the extraordinary legacy of his three and a half years in the AIF. It was during these years that McKenzie reached many tens of thousands of Australians serving overseas, as well as civilians at home in Australia, touching their lives in ways that they would never forget, and forging a platform …
How To Choose What We Watch, Daniel Reynaud
How To Choose What We Watch, Daniel Reynaud
Daniel Reynaud
With multiple channels accessi- le at the press of a button and with videos and movies avail- able throughout day or night, the visual media poses a dilemma for Seventh-day Adventists.* Much of it appears funda- mentally at odds with our faith. Vio- lence, sex, destructive lifestyle, and ram- pant materialism characterize most of what passes for entertainment. Some Adventists respond to the problem by simply eliminating the visual media from their lives: no television, no vid- eos, and no movies. These are avoided as a major source of corruption. Yet it seems unrealistic to cut our- selves off entirely …
Fighting Mac: The Anzac Chaplain, Daniel Reynaud
Fighting Mac: The Anzac Chaplain, Daniel Reynaud
Daniel Reynaud
Ask Australians who was the most famous Anzac of the First World War and most will probably answer, "Simpson, the man with the donkey". But while Simpson is a household name in Australia today, the soldiers who fought in the First World War would give a different answer.
Constructing The Anzac Image: A Study Of Australia's First Three Gallipoli Movies, Daniel Reynaud
Constructing The Anzac Image: A Study Of Australia's First Three Gallipoli Movies, Daniel Reynaud
Daniel Reynaud
Australia’s first three Gallipoli movies were released in 1915-1916, the first two while the Anzacs were still fighting on the peninsula. This paper traces their origin and making, their reception and recent efforts to locate and identify surviving images. The meaning of the films and their representations is placed in the context of other photographic representations at the time.
Alfred Rolfe: Forgotten Pioneer Australian Film Director, Stephen Vagg, Daniel Reynaud
Alfred Rolfe: Forgotten Pioneer Australian Film Director, Stephen Vagg, Daniel Reynaud
Daniel Reynaud
Alfred Rolfe was arguably the most prolific silent era Australian director, responsible for more than 25 feature films encompassing the bushranger genres, early Australian war cinema, and various melodramas. Many of his films were both critical and commercial successes. The only surviving footage are scenes from two of his 1915 war films. This important director has been overshadowed by his contemporaries, particularly Raymond Longford. This paper argues that Rolfe’s contribution to early Australian cinema was significant not just in volume, but in artistic terms, in subject matter, and in popular appeal. The centenary of Anzac is also the centenary of …
Convention And Contradiction: Representations Of Women In Australian War Films, 1914-1918, Daniel Reynaud
Convention And Contradiction: Representations Of Women In Australian War Films, 1914-1918, Daniel Reynaud
Daniel Reynaud
This paper examines the representation of women in Australian cinematic war dramas made between 1914 and 1918, showing how the representations were shaped by political, industrial and ideological influences, and identifying the range of representations present in the films. It observes that while there was considerable overlap with other media in the representation of women, there were images ignored by films, while others were unique to the cinema.
A Christian Aesthetic For The Arts, Daniel Reynaud
A Christian Aesthetic For The Arts, Daniel Reynaud
Daniel Reynaud
The arts and modern Christianity, especially in its Evangelical Protestant forms, have often had an uneasy relationship. This chapter addresses a Christian aesthetic for the arts, proposing a biblical philosophical approach that helps give the arts their proper place in the Christian sphere.
Bryan Ball As Historian, Daniel Reynaud
Bryan Ball As Historian, Daniel Reynaud
Daniel Reynaud
This chapter evaluates Seventh-day Adventist theologian Bryan Ball’s contribution to studies of Puritanism in Elizabethan and Stuart England. Ball locates the origins of many distinctive Seventh-day Adventist beliefs in various thinkers during the period, on a continuum from the main stream to the marginal. His work is innovative among SDA scholars in plumbing the origins of SDA thought long before the movement actually began.
