A colleague and I were talking today about the early days at Nashville Bible School. It is our understanding that a Nashville Rabbi was employed to teach Hebrew. Whether this happened before or after the turn of the 20th century (when Harding left Nashville for Bowling Green) will determine whether James A. Harding or David [...]

Regular readers of this blog know that one of my research interests is Nashville’s Stone-Campbell heritage. Judging from the folks who find my blog by searching for old Nashville churches like Foster Street Christian Church or Vine Street Christian Church or South College Street Church of Christ, I see I am not alone in my [...]

I offer for this installment the suggestions of my friend Chris Cotten. Several weeks ago I asked Chris to consider guest-posting to eScriptorium a short reading list on non-institutional churches of Christ (NI). I told him there would be no parameters, no restrictions and no pay…well, ok, a meal at Wendell’s in West Nashville, but no lucre, filthy or [...]

A kind and generous friend passed along to me a sketch of South Nashville Christian Church, also known as South College Street Christian Church, South Nashville Church of Christ (all interchangeably) and finally, after 1920, Lindsley Avenue Church of Christ.
David Lipscomb is an elder here from the beginning until his death in 1917. He preached to [...]
Happy Birthday Hendersonville!

Given my recent blog posts about East Nashville Stone-Campbell congregational history, I feel it most appropriate to wish the Hendersonville Church of Christ a happy birthday today. Evangelist James A. Harding conducted a meeting in the village of Hendersonville April 4, 1893. Nearly two dozen souls pledged themselves to God and each other as formed [...]

Evangelist James A. Harding was already a well-known and much sought-after evangelist among Churches of Christ when he held a tent meeting at the corner of Foster and Second Streets in 1889. Yet, lasting eight weeks, that meeting is regarded as his longest and is arguably, with 115 responses, one of his more successful.
Although the [...]
