I have only read selected quotes from McConkie's work, but I agree that Talmage's work was a first serious effort to confront the "Lives" works from a Mormon perspective. It appears McConkie's work was a work taking many steps backwards. If the reviews or excerpts I've read are representative, it almost appears McConkie was unaware of the thought and arguments he was addressing.
