  • D. Ellis Walker. “Every Good Work,” Gainesville, 1961
    D. Ellis Walker. “Every Good Work,” Gainesville, 1961 ACU Center for Restoration Studies Vertical File Introduction and Commentary by Christopher R. Hutson (2015) Introduction Physical Description: Measurement: 5 ½ x 8 ½ inches (14 x 21.6 cm). This is a tract of 24 pages (p. 24 is blank), printed on glossy paper with a cardstock cover and bound with two staples in the spine. It was published by the author and printed by Pepper Printing Company of Gainesville, Florida. The copy in the ACU library is in good condition. Summary of Contents: Walker purports to explain the phrase “every good work” as it appears in 2 Cor 9:8; Col 1:10; 2 Thess [1:11] 2:16-17; 1 Tim 5:10; 2 Tim 2:21; Titus 3:1; [Heb 3:20-21]. The question was whether admonitions to do “every good work” apply to Christians as individuals or to congregations acting collectively. The argument is divided into sections as follows: Verbal Inspiration 1 Who Is to Do “Every Good Work”? 2-3 What is the Meaning of “Good” (Agathos)? 3-7 Are Kalos and Agathos Absolutely Identical? 7-15 Objections Answered 15-19 The School and Orphan Home Questions, 19-21 How Shall We Know “Every Good Work”? 21 Summing Up 21-23 This “Introduction & Commentary” by Christopher R. Hutson is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License. 2 About the author: David Ellis Walker, Sr. (1907-1995) was born in McMinnville, Tennessee, the third of four brothers. His oldest brother Percy M. Walker (1900-1979)1 was a high school math teacher and principal in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he also served as an elder of the First Christian Church.

And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everythingT else. From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.

    GOSPEL ADVOCATE PUBLISHERS MEDIA RELEASE 1006 Elm Hill Pike, Nashville, TN 37210 • (615) 254-8781 Gospel Advocate Company President Dies NASHVILLE, TENN. – Kerry Glen Anderson, 52, president of the Gospel Advocate Company, died Aug. 13, 2013. Anderson had been president of the company since Sept. 25, 1997. Anderson was a 1981 graduate of Lipscomb University and had a master’s degree in policy development from Vanderbilt University. Before joining the Gospel Advocate, he worked for AT&T and First American National Bank. He attended the Crieve Hall Church of Christ. Founded in 1855, the Gospel Advocate is the oldest publisher serving the churches of Christ through magazines, Bible class curriculum, books and other resources. Past leaders of the Gospel Advocate include David Lipscomb, B.C. Goodpasture, Ira North, and J.C. and David McQuiddy. The Anderson family purchased the company from McQuiddy Printing in 1990 with the goal of continuing to contribute to the education of Christians and helping them to build a strong heritage of faith in their children. Neil W. Anderson, publisher and owner of the Gospel Advocate, was president of the company from 1981 to 1997. At the time of his appointment, Kerry Anderson said, “The Gospel Advocate Company has a great heritage. It has always been operated by members of the church of Christ and family owned. I am proud of our heritage, and I look forward to building on that foundation as we teach each generation the Good News of Jesus. I pledge our continued commitment to serving the church of Christ with biblically sound books, magazines, curriculum and supplies.” While Anderson was president, the Gospel Advocate moved from traditional printing methods to desktop publishing.

Worship led by Randy Gill. See page 8 for more information. From the President Not long before I became president a man named Robert Donovan came to my office unannounced and told me that he and his wife were the artists who created the Stauffer Chapel stained-glass masterpiece. He and Bette had returned to campus in the twilight years of their lives together to sign their work and to be remembered. He told me of the process of fitting more than 125 different shapes and colors together, and of the theme they selected for our chapel, "The Tree of Life," with an open Bible featured in the center of the window around which the stained glass elements swirl and flow. They wanted only to sign their work and we, of course, granted their request. To this day, their handiwork calls me to worship whenever I sit in one of the pews either alone or with other worshippers. Allow me to invite you join us May 1–4, 2018, to take a journey into the Word of God through the event we now call Harbor. When you arrive, I urge you to take a deep breath and consider the marvelous mystery of color and light of the stained glass in our chapel by the sea.
