Would-be church historians, who don't know what they are talking about, write articles. The Second Incarnation, written by Rubel Shelly and Randall Harris, relies completely for documentation on contemporary liberal theologians outside the church without even an honorable mention of the likes of David Lipscomb. Then the representative of the Herald of Truth defended the program against its critics. Today a look back sees Lynn Anderson and Landon Saunders as only bit players in a larger, unfolding drama. Managers of Herald of Truth were not so honest.
Art is long and life is short.
Though the life of a man is short, the memory of history is not. We will remember the Memphis meeting as the place and time when the loyal members of the churches of Christ stood up to be counted and forced the liberals to show their hand. This was during the second meeting of the Nashville Jubilee. These transactions have been widely publicized. Just as A. I. Myhr is associated with troubled times in the churches of Christ, so was Don Finto a few years back in the highly profiled Belmont church split.
