I hope Bruce in particular will get the word out about the print issue Review of Brinkey on Luce.

It is the series of essays in Time on the American Purpose that in many ways the template for the Last Great Hope notions that came to the SBC in the 60's.

And Brinkley's bio and the TNR review examine it well.

Billy Graham wrote one of the essays, and Archibald McCleish wrote the best dissent from Graham and Luce in that series.

Helped me understand Marney and Marshall Frady a little better, get a better notion of the forces that Stewart Newman and Will Campbell wrestled with in that time.

Made me more humble that try as we may, we all see through a glass darkly in this world; but on those days when the light shines brightest are hints of Glory.

That is why Elder Babb and the Madison Bumblebees should be on site for the 2011 Triennial Baptist Covenant.
