been trained in parsing Greek and Latin grammar, and were regularly praised or condemned on the strengths of their ability to parse key New Testament proof texts to the greatest analytical precision possible within their hermeneutic. Boll was strongly defended by others in print during the 1930s and 1940s. Legacy The Portland Christian School system, founded in 1924, is the most visible sign of Boll's influence among Churches of Christ in Louisville, Kentucky. Among various geographical areas, congregations which bear Boll's premillennialist and other influences can most easily be found in Louisville, southern Indiana, and Louisiana, and in the Philippines. Tensions over millennial differences among Churches of Christ began widely subsiding by the end of the 20th century. References External links R.H. Boll page at the R.H.
