Notes:	Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
Summary:	a comprehensive chronicle of the Seminary, carefully documented with endnotes following each of its twenty chapters. Kinghorn has written a faithful, factual, and fair account, devoid of his personal opinions. He said, "Although the chronicles of the Seminary are filled with numerous instances of God's miraculous intervention, guidance, and blessing, this book is not intended to be hagiographic. The Story of Asbury Theological Seminary is not without misunderstandings, missteps, and mistakes-and this book does not avoid them." --from publisher description
