Church, College, and ClergyA History of Theological Education at Knox College, Toronto, 1844-1994 |
eBook Available
A commemorative history of one of the most important theological institutions in Canada.
Church, College, and Clergy commemorates the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Knox College in Toronto. Founded in 1844, it is the oldest, largest, and most influential Presbyterian theological school in Canada. Brian Fraser traces the history of the college and examines how Presbyterians in Canada educated the leaders who ensured the preservation and propagation of their religion.
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.

"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.
Brian J. Fraser is dean of St Andrew's Hall and associate professor of church history, Vancouver School of Theology.
