God’S Faithfulness To Promise: The Hortatory Use Of Commissive Language In Hebrews, David Ripley Worley
God’S Faithfulness To Promise: The Hortatory Use Of Commissive Language In Hebrews, David Ripley Worley
ACU Brown Library Monograph Series
David Worley's 1981 Yale University dissertation--revised with foreword by James Thompson and bibliographical addendum by Lee Zachary Maxey--explores the use commissive language, promises, and hortatory literature in the book of Hebrews. The author concludes that the use of commissive language in the book of Hebrews was not prompted by criticisms within the church over a delay in God’s promise keeping; rather that our author seized upon God’s commissive activity and the behavior of promisees of scripture as a way of emboldening a people tempted to withdraw from one another and from God to endure social and financial difficulties and to …

Debating For God: Alexander Campbell's Challenge To Skepticism In Antebellum America, Richard J. Cherok
Debating For God: Alexander Campbell's Challenge To Skepticism In Antebellum America, Richard J. Cherok
ACU Brown Library Monograph Series
Historians have recognized Alexander Campbell as the leading figure in an important American Christian reform movement, an advocate of Christian unity, and an educator, but his role as an apologist has been forgotten. This book focuses on Campbell's career as a defender of the faith, arguing that he was "the most significant Christian apologist of America's antebellum period." He contended with some of the most notable skeptics of his era, most famous among them Robert Owen, founder of New Harmony. Martin E. Marty says regarding Campbell, "No clergyman of his time exerted himself more vigorously in combat of the infidels …
The Fight Is On In Texas: A History Of African American Churches Of Christ In The Lone Star State, 1865-2000, Edward J. Robinson
The Fight Is On In Texas: A History Of African American Churches Of Christ In The Lone Star State, 1865-2000, Edward J. Robinson
ACU Brown Library Monograph Series
This groundbreaking work draws upon congregational histories and other primary sources to chronicle for the first time the story of African American Churches of Christ in Texas. Emerging out of the nineteenth-century Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement, the African American churches inherited from their white mentors both a Biblicist theology and a feisty spirit. Their “fight” was against religious error and in support of the true church as they understood it. Out of that “fight” emerged a growing network of congregations that by the mid-twentieth century reached throughout Texas. This book lifts out of obscurity the African American Christians who joined Ramsey’s …

Early Christians Speak: Faith And Life In The First Three Centuries, Everett Ferguson
ACU Brown Library Monograph Series
These studies in early church history cover various aspects of the church life of early Christians. They focus on the second century.

New Testament texts bearing on the topic are listed at the beginning of each chapter. We are talking about the same community of people, the same church, as existed in the New Testament. Such writings have an important bearing on the interpretation of the Scriptures.
Hearing God's Voice: My Life With Scripture In The Churches Of Christ, Thomas H. Olbricht
Hearing God's Voice: My Life With Scripture In The Churches Of Christ, Thomas H. Olbricht
ACU Brown Library Monograph Series
In times of change, Christians have always sought enduring answers from the pages of Scripture. Our hermeneutic—our method of organizing and understanding the message of the Bible—predetermines what answers we will glean. But is our process of understanding based on the Bible, or on our cultural and historical assumptions? In this autobiography, Thomas H. Olbricht (1929–2020) looks back on the last sixty years in Churches of Christ and offers his observations of how our perceptions of Scripture have changed and evolved. He clears a path through the shifting thickets of an unsteady world; a path that leads toward the Everlasting—a …

The Church In Exile: God's Counter Culture In A Non-Christian World, James Thompson
The Church In Exile: God's Counter Culture In A Non-Christian World, James Thompson
ACU Brown Library Monograph Series
Christians have become more and more a minority group in American culture, and so now find themselves in a situation similar to the early Christians-facing the challenge of living as cultural exiles. The Church in Exile draws upon the epistle of 1 Peter, which was written to "exiles," to help us learn how to live faithfully when many around us do not share Christian values.
Yale Divinity School And The Disciples Of Christ 1872-1989, Edwin L. Becker
Yale Divinity School And The Disciples Of Christ 1872-1989, Edwin L. Becker
ACU Brown Library Monograph Series
For many years, Disciples of Christ students well out-numbered Congregationalists and Methodists at Yale Divinity School, and this led to a "mainstreaming" of Disciples within the broader Protestant world. Yale Divinity School and the Disciples of Christ documents this transition, noting all graduates of Yale with ties to Disciples between 1872 and 1989. This important book shows the lasting impact of Yale on higher education, pastorates, denominational offices, foreign missions, and theological scholarship. The mainstreaming of Disciples of Christ in the 1920s was greatly shaped as its ministers pursued higher education. Becker's study shows the important place of Yale Divinity …
