Paying Lip Service: The Indictment of Christianity in Patrick White's A Fringe of Leaves.
This paper will study several aspects of White's depiction of theological issues in general, and Christianity in particular, in "A Fringe of Leaves". It will be argued that White perceives a disconnect between the public theology of imperialist Christianity, and its irrelevance as a belief system for individuals confronted by the random chaos of the human experience. 8 pgs. 16 f/c. 4b.
