Debating For God: Alexander Campbell's Challenge To Skepticism In Antebellum America, Richard J. Cherok Jan 2008

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."

Disciple Preaching In The First Generation: An Ecological Study, Dwight E. Stevenson Jan 1969

Disciple Preaching In The First Generation: An Ecological Study, Dwight E. Stevenson

ACU Brown Library Monograph Series

Based on the Reed lectures from 1969, Stevenson examines the Old-World origins and the impact of the early American frontier on early Disciples preaching up to the time of the Civil War. He notes the preaching forms that early leaders rejected—mere flowery or rhetorical messages and harangues against established Protestant sects—and what was accepted in its place. Stevenson's essays draw into sharp relief the difference between debate and preaching, a line that has often been blurred within the Stone-Campbell tradition.


Servants Without Hire: Emerging Concepts Of Christian Ministry In The Campbell-Stone Movement, William Martin Smith Jan 1968

Servants Without Hire: Emerging Concepts Of Christian Ministry In The Campbell-Stone Movement, William Martin Smith

ACU Brown Library Monograph Series

Based on the Reed Lectures from 1967, Smith traces the anti-clerical message that accompanied the frontier religious preaching of Alexander Campbell and Barton Stone. Their hopes were that congregations could appoint their own leaders without the undue influence of outsiders. These evangelists were to be first and foremost servants, with no distinction between lay members and ministers. Smith, then traces the development of a professional ministry system within Disciples of Christ into the 1960s as churches called for greater levels of training among their preachers. Chapters include: ▪ A Nineteenth Century Revolution: A Free Ministry in a Free Society ▪Pastors-Evangelists-Bishops …
