On March 13, 1944 A.C. Pinckley,
Leslie G. Thomas, Homer Daniel, Granvill W. Tyler, R.C. White,
Ernestine Wyatt, Ralph Wharton, Ernest Clevenger, Sr., and Conrad
Bates met to discuss the advisability of starting a Christian
School in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Their dream came to fruition
on May 12, 1952, with the establishment of Chattanooga Bible
School. The 2003-2004 achademic year marks the fiftieth anniversary
of that beginning, and Educating for Eternity gives evidence
of the success which it has become.
This book is a tribute to all
those who have participated in the history of the institution
that evolved into Boyd-Buchannan. The vast collection of material
from which the text is drawn was painstakingly retrieved, assembled,
recreated, compiled and archived by Linda Kelley. She devoted
years to the task which included hundreds of hours conducting
taped interviews and transcribing the results. The entire staff's
care and commitment to the project has resulted in a truly remarkable
compendium of valuable information. |
