David Broughton Knox was one of the most influential Anglican leaders in the second half of the twentieth century. His long service as principal of Moore Theological College, Sydney, had an impact much further afield than that city. Along with this, the unique place Sydney Diocese has in the Anglican Communion has been significantly shaped by Knox’s ministry and theological priorities.
This volume is the result of a conference held in 2016 to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of Knox’s birth. Theologians who were personally taught by Knox, along with those who belong to a younger generation, contribute to this work by critically engaging with various aspects of Knox’s theology and legacy. Subjects include the atonement, ecclesiology, sacramentology as well as the shaping of a theological institution. These academic contributions are complemented by personal accounts and anecdotes of Knox’s influence on some of the most influential evangelical leaders and academics in the world.
Contributors include Peter Jensen, Glenn Davies, Paul Barnett, Mark D. Thompson, Graeme Goldsworthy, Graham Cole, D. A. Carson, Andrew Leslie, Chase Kuhn, Edward Loane and Robert Doyle.

Paul Facey Being an Anglican interested in his heritage, and especially one in Sydney, I wanted to pick up this promising overview of the impact that David Broughton Knox had on the diocese. I'm not done yet but it is so far a great review, especially with how copiously the man himself is quoted in his own words to back up the interpretations of the authors (esp. Loane's essay on Knox's "sacramental" theology). As a consequence, however, being of a very High Church persuasion myself (though still a son of the Reformation; I'm not an Anglo-Catholic), I found myself cringing strongly at the opinions I saw Knox espouse, *especially* on his watering down of the Eucharist and virtual complete abandonment of Baptism towards his life's end, which absolutely shocked me.
I will stop myself short of continuing a rant I already gave to other Anglican friends, and just conclude that this is an excellent historical overview of a giant figure who helped make Sydney Anglicanism what it is today, for better or worse.
