Well, I looked at that old binder last night and I was wrong. Of the 250 Bible Studies that all prospective UPC ministers had to read and study, exactly 100 were written by J.H.D.
That binder is still available in a newer format at "the Pub" but for whatever reason Brother Dearing's contribution is not credited. Only E. Rohn is ever listed as the author, even though E. Rohn wrote 100 of the studies just as Brother Dearing.
My suspicious nature tells me <a brother> (or someone like him, but probably <a brother>) at the Publishing House smiles quietly to himself about the way no controversy was raised by the "conservatives" about that book - and that controversy was avoided by the intentional omission of J.H.D. from the cover. That's just my guess, and probably not good information, but I know the kinds of "controversy" that plagued the guys at "the Pub."
Hey BOOM! Remember "the PUB" and going to "the PUB?" There, now I've given the game away. BOOM and I were just stray eaglets with scrawny wings back then...
Hmm... do I spill the beans on BOOM? ... Did you know that for years BOOM lived just outside Las Vegas - AT THE SECRET UFO BASE: AREA 51?
