== Biography ==
At age nineteen Knight joined the Adventist church through an evangelistic series held in Eureka, California, by Ralph Larson.〔(The Spectrum Blog: QOD conference bulletin two )〕 He completed a BA at Pacific Union College in 1965, an MA in 1966 and MDiv from Andrews University in 1967. He afterward pastored on the Texas Gulf Coast but resigned from pastoral ministry in the spring of 1969. He then worked as an Adventist school teacher. He completed a EdD in 1976 from the University of Houston where he studied under Joshua Weinstein. Knight observes that the subject of his dissertation George S. Counts was particularly influential in the development of his thinking in relating revolutionary and iconoclastic ideas with practical applications. Toward the end of his academic career he had a pivotal 1975 meeting with Robert W. Olson, at the time he worked at the Ellen G. White Estate and who had been Knight's first Bible teacher. "He merely exuded the sweet love of Jesus and a firm confidence in his faith," notes Knight. "When he left I told my wife that he had what I needed. That day I met Christ in Robert Olson and my life has never been the same."
Upon his reconversion after his intellectual departure into agnosticism Knight taught in the School of Education at Andrews University. He had a number of doctoral students who did biographical studies of early Adventist educators. He gradually developed an interest in Adventist history that led to his transition to the Church History department in the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary. His 1985 book, ''Myths in Adventism'', put him on the map in Adventist circles and he began to rise to prominence in the church. During the 1990s Knight became particularly well known for his fresh insight and popularization of Seventh-day Adventist history. By the year 2000 he was the best-selling Adventist author in the denomination with a steady stream of doctoral students and graduate assistants who helped him do research for his books. He was also featured as one of the keynote speakers at the 2000 Seventh-day Adventist General Conference Session held in Toronto, Canada. In 2005 he announced his plans for retirement that occurred during the summer of 2006. He has already begun work on the first volumes of a devotional commentary of the entire Bible.
