Description
Using the public writings of faculty members, Fraser describes the evolution of theological education at Knox College and, by extension, the ministry and mission of the Presbyterian Church of Canada. Fraser argues that Knox College, with its mission to uphold and spread the great evangelical truths of the Gospel, played a crucial role in the development of Presbyterian culture and in shaping the dominant views of the church.

Editorial Reviews
"An engaging history of Knox College ... Fraser's coherent and forceful argument makes a significant contribution to our understanding of religion in Canada. His knowledge of both the cultural and functional settings of theological education enables him to work, as it were, from the inside out, taking as his primary focus the issues and ambitions that were at the very heart of Knox College." William Westfall, History, Atkinson College, York University.
