Presbyterian Pioneers Of Van Diemen's Land - A Contribution To The Ecclesiastical History Of Tasmania
By J. Heyer
Published by The Presbytery Of Tasmania 1935 (1st Edition)

"Presbyterian Pioneers of Van Diemen's Land - A Contribution to the Ecclesiastical History of Tasmania by J. Heyer offers a detailed account of the early Presbyterian settlers and ministers who laid the foundation for the church's presence in colonial Tasmania. Set against the backdrop of Van Diemen's Land's transformation from a penal colony to a developing society, the book chronicles the efforts of Scottish immigrants and clergy who brought with them not only their faith but also a commitment to education, moral order, and community building. Heyer carefully documents the challenges these pioneers faced, including isolation, limited resources, and resistance from established Anglican structures.

The book also examines the broader development of Presbyterian institutions across Tasmania, highlighting key figures, congregations, and milestones in the church's growth. Heyer combines historical narrative with biographical sketches, creating a vivid picture of the individuals who shaped the religious landscape of the island. This work stands as an important contribution to Tasmanian ecclesiastical history, preserving the legacy of a faith community that played a vital role in the moral and social fabric of early Tasmanian life."
