"The author clearly depicts the teaching of religion at Canada's universities, far into the twentieth century, as centred on Christian theology." --Ira Robinson, Concordia University, Canadian Jewish Studies "Given the number of Canadians who have 'flown south' to influence the study of religion in the United States, let alone throughout the world - and I have in mind everyone from Louis H. Jordan, in the field's earliest years, and Wilfred Cantwell Smith, during its mid-twentieth-century reinvention, to Aaron W. Hughes himself, among the most prolific in the field today - it's about time for a critical history of the field as it has developed in Canada." --Russell T. McCutcheon, Department of Religious Studies, The University of Alabama " From Seminary to University makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the development of secular departments for the study of religion in Canada's universities. The continuing influence of the study of religion 'as providing the moral fabric' of society in the creation of our early colonial educational institutions has not been fully recognized elsewhere in the literatures on this topic. Furthermore, this study, unlike existing discussions and debates about the study of religion in Canada, provides an important chapter in the history of Canada and in the history of the global study of religion.
