Full Description

Lloyd Geering, a minister and professor in the Presbyterian Church in New Zealand, was tried for heresy in 1967 following his article 'What Does the Resurrection Mean?'. Found innocent, he became the foundation professor of religion at Victoria University. This is a reflective and honest account of his personal journey. In Wrestling With God Geering writes movingly of the interior and family life that form the backdrop to his controversial public life.
