Unlike many in office these days, Scott Morrison, the Australian Liberal Party prime minister from 2018 to 2022, has been open about his evangelical Christian faith before and after his ascent to high office.

Like many politicians who have left office, Mr. Morrison has just published a book. But unlike those ex-officeholders, his new volume, “Plans For Your Good: A Prime Minister’s Testimony of God’s Faithfulness,” centers on biblical teaching, not backbench brawling. Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence wrote the foreword to the book, released last week in the U.S. by evangelical publisher Thomas Nelson.
While the “vast majority” of Australians are “respectful” of faith, he said, he witnessed in the secular media and some in the political class “quite a strong hostility” towards evangelical Christianity. “The assumption that the sort of Christian sort of worldview is a broadly held one — or even an understood one — I think would now be largely false,” Mr. Morrison said.
The former prime minister — who said he prayed with parliamentary colleagues but did not try to force his religious beliefs on others — said that he became a Christian believer “when I was about 12 years old,” thanks to the influence of an older brother. From that point, “I grew up in a Christian family” and found some “wonderful” mentors in the faith.
