Ogden, Arthur M.: - Arthur M. Ogden was born November 24, 1932, in Winchester, Kentucky, just six weeks prior to the famed Neal-Wallace debate. His father, Max Ogden, was instrumental in arranging this debate. Foy Wallace, Jr. lodged with the Ogdens during the week of the discussion. According to his mother, Art, because of a good old fashion case of colic, gave Wallace more trouble than Neal during the week. Following in his father's footsteps, Art began preaching in the spring of 1951 near Scottsville, Kentucky. During nearly 50 years of preaching he served churches of Christ as local evangelist in Illinois, Florida, Ohio and Kentucky. Most of those years were spent serving the Bourne Avenue and Southside churches in Somerset, Kentucky. Art also held numerous Gospel Meetings in many states, mostly east of the Mississippi River, and preaching thousands of times on the radio. He frequently lectured on the book of Revelation. Other details about the author, his wife, and five children are found in the Preface of the Commentary.
