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. He successfully implemented a new inventory management and web ordering system and helped develop the GA Bible Study Library on CD. The latest improvement under his guidance had been the conversion of the GA’s library of books into e-books. Anderson is survived by his son, Matthew Anderson; his parents, Neil and Glenda Anderson; his sister and brother-in-law, Neila and Nelson Whitfield; and two nephews, Connor and Clayton Whitfield. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be sent to Crieve Hall Church of Christ Youth Group, 4806 Trousdale Dr., Nashville, TN 37220..

Imbler As the recently constituted nation was expanding beyond the settled northeast, in- formation on a variety of subjects was carried by an increasing number of newly estab- lished local presses. Presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin observes, “With few public entertainments in rural America (c. 1850s), villages and farmers regarded the spo- ken word and political debates as riveting spectator sports.” She continues, “Following such debates, the dueling remarks were regularly printed in their entirety in newspapers then reprinted in pamphlet form…where they provoked discourse over a wide space and prolonged time.”1 While her analysis refers to the general population, it also reflects the character of the Stone-Campbell people who were heavily invested in publications.

Churches of Christ and the Lord's Supper
Churches of Christ and the Lord’s Supper: Twentieth Century Perspectives* John Mark Hicks Lipscomb University Nashville, Tennessee Alexander Campbell’s famous sentence, “In the house of God there is always the table of the Lord,” embodies the essence of Stone- Campbell Eucharistic theology and practice.1 This simple sentence describes the weekly celebration of the Lord’s Supper on the Lord’s Day in the presence of God as a joyous feast. The “house of God” is the weekly assembly of the saints where God and his people meet. Those assembled “must feel” themselves as “specially [sic] in the presence of the Lord, not as on other days or in other places.”2 Campbell possessed “a deep and solemn conviction that the [assembly] is the house of God—the temple of the Holy Spirit—and that we are, especially and emphatically, in the presence of the Lord while we are engaged in his worship.” Every occasion of the “assemblies of the saints” is a “meeting with the Lord.”3 Against the backdrop of Scottish Presbyterianism and Independents as well as in the context of a typological hermeneutic, “table” is a significant theological and liturgical term for Campbell. Extending the typological hermeneutic by recalling the language of Leviticus 23, Campbell calls the day of “assembly” a “day of rest, of peace, of joy, a festival sacred to the Lord.”4 Presbyterian sacramental solemnities, whether Scottish or American, were often characterized by the intense practice of penitential spiritual disciplines, including _________ *This paper was presented at the meeting of the Stone- Campbell Dialogue in June 2007 at University Christian Church, Austin, Texas.

By David R. Kenney I Highly Respect Alexander
by David R. Kenney Light AboveFrom I highly respect Alexander Campbell’s sentiment that all spiritual and physical light comes from above – from God and His Word. n 1832, Alexander Campbell’s friend Louis Hobbs, who had constructed some of Bethany College’s buildings, built a Iunique study about 150 feet away from Campbell’s “Mansion.” The study was originally made as a six- sided (hexagonal) brick structure more than 15 feet in height and nearly 17 feet in diameter with a Gothic-style doorway, Gothic window designs (but no actual windows), and four interior walls lined with four sets of book- shelves more than eight feet in height and encased with sliding glass doors that kept Campbell’s main library. Originally, the only windows were the two narrow windows beside the front door, but the primary source of light for the study was a special cupola on the roof with windows to al- low in sunlight. Campbell commented about the design of the study, particu- larly about the lighting for it, by stat- ing “lux descendit e caelo,” which is Portrait of Alexander Campbell Latin for “light descends from above.” painted by James Bogle, 1857. 38 Gospel advocate • March 2013 It is reported that he would state that all light, physical and spiritual, comes from above, so he wanted to harness this “light from above” for his study. Campbell was often referred to as “the sage of Bethany,” a title he certainly earned. He was a serious student of the Scriptures. When he was under his father’s training for ministry, Campbell followed a study regimen that he maintained throughout his life: “Arrangement for studies for winter of 1810.
