S.H. Ford writes in his biography of J. R. Graves, "E. T. Winkler, one of the most intellectual, scholarly, and conservative men whose names adorn the annuals of Southern Baptist ministers, and who, on several memorial occasions, had antagonized and defeated extreme propositions introduced by J. R. Graves, wrote in the Alabama Baptist, of which he was editor, and just after one of those direct conflicts had occurred in the Southern Baptist Convention held in St. Louis in 1871―"extreme as the views of Dr. Graves have by many been regarded as being, there is no question but that they have powerfully contributed to the correction of a false liberalism that was current in many quarters thirty years ago."

While living he was followed and feared, hailed and confided in as a great teacher and leader, and denounced, if not shunned, as a disturber of the peace. A half century has passed since his public career commenced and several years since he "fought his last battle," but his name, his labors, his teachings are still discussed and his influence widely felt. The echoes of his voice still linger in the valley, and responses to his battle cry are heard, while condemnations of his life work are not infrequent and often severe." Graves book, "Intercommunion Inconsistent, Unscriptural, and Productive of Evil" is a good read for any solid Baptist to have in his library.
