Keith... could you at least scan the chapter on "Pentecostal Leaders" from your 1947 edition? This is Chapter 18, and I believe the final chapter in all three editions.
A full scan of the whole book would be great, but I know that I am imposing.
I am increasingly drawn to the idea of putting up all three editions for a comparative analysis.
Here's the Editor's note from the 2000 edition again:
EDITOR’S NOTE: This revised edition (2000) preserves the full
text of the original book (1947). The following changes have been
made: (1) Reorganization of the chapters in chronological order.
(2) Addition of explanatory notes, new chapter titles, and missing
Scripture citations. (3) Editing of capitalization, punctuation,
spelling, and diction to conform to current Word Aflame
Press house rules. (4) Correction of a few minor errors.
Considering the revisionism that lead up to and followed 1992, it might be good to take a look at the "few minor errors" that are were corrected.
I'm curious as well. How much of a role did the Publishing House play in redacting the Pentecostal history and legacy that contributed to the events at General Conference in 1992?
I was at the Conference and in all of the Business meetings. In fact, I was on the Tabulating Committee, but when I reported for duty the first day I was told that my services weren't needed. I thought that it was because I was a "kid" - I was 31 at the time and a full time UPC minister holding a General License, but still, they had a way of making you feel like a "kid."
That Conference vote went the way it did because of a "misrepresentation" of the General Board's actions. A falsehood swayed the entire outcome. I was there. How deep do the falsehoods go?
