Still Voices-Still Heard [Hardcover]

This sesquicentennial project of Presbyterian College tells the stories of thirteen individuals, chosen from among its graduates, faculty and benefactors, whose still voices represent in unique ways the history and influence of the college over the past 150 years. Each chapter presents a biography, a sermon, address, letter or report, followed by a commentary showing how this still voice spoke to the issues of the time and why it still should be heard. The themes remind us of the college's continuing mission to provide the Church with strong and visionary leaders. The book concludes with useful lists of Presbyterian College's students, scholars, supporters and societies down through the years. The editors have creatively combined biographical essays with addresses, letters, reports, and sermons to present the history of its ministry to both English and French Protestants, showing how its leaders, graduates, and supporters shaped Christianity and culture in and beyond Canada. --Phyllis Airhart, Professor of the History of Christianity, Emmanuel College, University of Toronto This book inspires!
