Like Bishops John Robinson in England and John Shelby Spong in the USA, he became an innovative and challenging voice in the emerging debates about God and religion in the second half of the twentieth century. His 1966 article ‘What Does the Resurrection Mean?’ (printed in this volume) led to the famed heresy trial. Found innocent, Geering became the foundation professor of religion at Victoria University, and continued a highly successful career as an academic and writer.

In Wrestling With God Geering writes movingly of the interior and family life that form the backdrop to his controversial public life.

“Lloyd Geering’s triumph over personal tragedy and professional hostility is an inspiration to all who seek faith without fairy tales in today’s world.” — Anthony Freeman, Church of England priest dismissed for writing God in Us: A Case for Christian Humanism
