| Description: |
In this concise biography, Roderick O'Brien invites readers into the remarkable life of Julian Tenison Woods, a Catholic priest, scientist, naturalist and social reformer whose curiosity bridged faith and the emerging sciences of the nineteenth century.
We follow Woods from his English roots to the rugged frontiers of Australia, exploring his pioneering contributions in geology, meteorology and ecology alongside his deep spiritual vision of human dignity and stewardship of creation. As O'Brien charts Woods' encounters with Indigenous communities, colonial society and the Catholic Church, the book reveals a man ahead of his time: committed to scientific observation and humanitarian action, yet anchored in a transcendent purpose.
With clarity and respect, this book offers both inspiration and historical insight for readers interested in the intersection of faith, science and social engagement. A portrait of a lesser-known figure whose legacy still resonates today. |
