Scribe congratulates Robert Kenny for winning the Australian History Association’s W.K. Hancock prize for 2008, for his book, The Lamb Enters the Dreaming: Nathanael Pepper and the ruptured world.
In his acceptance speech Robert Kenny said:
The Lamb Enters the Dreaming arose first of all out my prime area of interest as an historian, the social history of ideas, particularly the interconnection of religion and science. It arose specifically out my curiosity about Nathanael Pepper. And in that it revolved around two questions: why did Nathanael convert to Christianity; and why did the evangelical community find his conversion so significant?
He also thanked “the History Program at La Trobe, and at The Australian Centre, University of Melbourne, and of course all at Scribe Publications.”
