Abstract
The retirement of a valued teacher and colleague brings with it an admixture of joy and regret-joy in the accomplishments of many years of theological endeavour, regret that this endeavour will no longer be pursued as self-evidently in our midst as it has been. Such is certainly the case with the retirement this year of David Demson as Professor of Systematic Theology at Emmanuel College in the Toronto School of Theology. Apart from brief sabbaticals, David has taught theology at Emmanuel without interruption since 1964 when he was first appointed Lecturer in Christian Doctrine. This he has done with an unflagging passion for that understanding which Christian faith rightly seeks. For many of us who encountered David in both lecture hall and seminar room over the years, it was precisely this impassioned quaerens which in us first kindled, and then repeatedly re-kindled, an ardour for the ratio of the gospel of God.
