Robert Eric Frykenberg, Professor Emeritus of History & South Asian Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Madison writes that Louis F. Knoll believed that the British Rule in India was a major obstacle to the spread of Christianity in India.

[9] The Mennonite Brethren Mission also sought Knoll to consolidate its organizational structure[10] In 1978, when the Telugu movie Karunamayudu was released, the movie acknowledged the contribution of Knoll as a financial adviser displayed during the opening titles.

After Knoll left India, he served as Vice President of the American Baptist Seminary of the West from 1978 to 1985.

His doctoral thesis is preserved in microfilm[15] and kept at the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library in New Delhi.

Knoll became a member of the Council of Senate of Serampore College (University) in 1966,[16] a position in which he continued until his resignation in 1986.
