We’ve
revised our outline, dividing a chapter finished in rough draft in two and
enlarging the new chapter. This is difficult writing, so you won’t see much
from me for a while. We’re raising issues that some will find ‘sensitive.’ And
we’re incorporating material we intended for volume three, shortening the
discussion to a few paragraphs.
Our goal is
to clarify the nature of the earliest congregations and fellowships. Most
groups were small fellowships, a few individuals who met together, often
without clear leadership. We will explore how Watch Tower adherents viewed
Russell before 1894. Research has led us in a new direction; or I should say it
has taken us into a wider field.
If you want
to help, scour the letters in the early issues of Zion’s Watch Tower of
comments about Russell or praise for the Tower and Russell’s other writings –
Millennial Dawn, Food for Thinking Christians, Old Theology Quarterly, etc.
It is
essential that we be absolutely accurate. If you can help, that would be
stellar.
