This is a compelling story of the growth and development of one of the most respected theological training colleges in Australia.  It is an exciting story of significant success but not without some perils along the way.  These are faced openly and honestly with great insight and sensitivity.  The book is carefully researched, clearly written and well presented.  It is a ‘must’ for students, ministers and college libraries.  I congratulate the College on a hundred years of ministry and commend the author, Rev Dr Victor Eldridge for his splendid work. – Rev Dr Noel Vose, Morling College (1947-50)

Morling College commenced in 1916 as the Baptist Theological College of NSW.  First located in the Harris Street (Ultimo) and Petersham churches, it moved successively  to Granville (1926-34) Ashfield (1934-62), and then to an undeveloped campus at Marsfield, now Macquarie Park.
