My blog posts revolve around my interests and vocation as a historian: the intersection of history and contemporary church life, the intersection of history and contemporary politics, serendipitous discoveries in archives or on research trips, publications and research projects, upcoming conferences, and speaking engagements.
I sometimes blog for two other organizations, the Canadian Baptist Historical Society and the Centre for Post-Christendom Studies. The views expressed in these blogs represent the views of the authors, and not necessarily those of any organizations with which they are associated. |
 Our experiences as students of Dr. Robert Wilson were at opposite ends of his tenure at Acadia Divinity College. My experience began in 1991, the first year of his professorship, and my master’s thesis was one of the first he supervised. Taylor's experience began in 2015, near the end of his time at the college, and his thesis was one of the last he supervised. Both of us were fortunate enough to have experienced the teaching and mentoring of “Dr. Bob,” and both of us consider it a privilege to put together this Festschrift in honour of his contribution to our lives, the church, and the academe.
We hope that these chapters will accomplish two things. First, they will not only contribute to our knowledge of Baptist history in Atlantic Canada, but also stimulate further research into hitherto unexplored subjects. Second, they will be a testament to Wilson’s work as a professor, one who both trained young scholars and spurred on the study of Atlantic Baptist history to develop to the place it is today.
