Description

Co-founder James Harding added the enthusiasm of youth to David Lipscomb's wisdom of age. A graduate of Alexander Campbell's Bethany College, Harding shared Lipscomb's belief that the Bible should be taught as an integral part of a much broader curriculum. Known for his powerful oratory, his faith, and his trust in God's providence, he was constantly sought by churches needing located preachers. He refused such request, believing his “Bible school work” to be far more effective and influential in spreading the Gospel. Indeed, the impact of his students’ Christian service and the Bible colleges and schools they have established is beyond comprehension.
