Download or read book Alexander Campbell and Joseph Smith written by RoseAnn Benson and published by Byu Press. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two nineteenth-century men, Alexander Campbell and Joseph Smith, each launched restoration movements in the United States, pejoratively called Campbellites and Mormonites. In post-revolutionary America, characterized by the Second Great Awakening and disestablishment, they vied for seekers and dissatisfied mainstream Christians, which led to conflict in northeastern Ohio. Both were searching for the primordial beginning of Christianity: Campbell looking back to the Christian church described in the New Testament epistles, and Smith looking even further back to the time of Adam and Eve as the first Christians. Campbell took a rational approach to reading the Bible, emphasizing the New Testament and began by advocating reform among the Baptists. Smith took a revelatory approach to reading the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, and adding new scriptures. Campbell was most focused on restoring to the church ordinances and practices of the apostolic church that had been neglected¿whereas Smith was restoring ancient doctrines, practices, ordinances, and covenants to a church that had ceased to exist shortly after the time of the Apostles.

Download or read book The Churches of Christ written by Richard T. Hughes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-05-30 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume tells the story of the Churches of Christ, one of three major denominations that emerged in the United States from a religious movement led by Alexander Campbell and Barton W. Stone in the early 19th century. Beginning as an effort to provide a basis on which all Christians in America could unite, the leaders of the movement relied on the faith and practice of the primitive church. Ironically, this unity movement eventually divided precisely along the lines of its original agenda, as the Churches of Christ rallied around the restorationist banner while the Disciples of Christ gathered around the ecumenical cause. Yet, having begun as a countercultural sect, the Churches of Christ emerged in the 20th century as a culture-affirming denomination. This brief history, together with biographical sketches of major leaders, provides a complete overview of the denomination in America. The book begins with a concise yet detailed history of the denomination's beginnings in the early 19th century. Tracing the influence of such leaders as Stone and Campbell, the authors chronicle the triumphs and conflicts of the denomination through the 19th century and its reemergence and renewal in the 20th century. The biographical dictionary of leaders in the Churches of Christ rounds out the second half of the book, and a chronology of important events in the history of the denomination offers a quick reference guide. A detailed bibliographic essay concludes the book and points readers to further readings about the Churches of Christ.

Download or read book The Covenant Story of the Bible written by Alexander Campbell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like a golden cord, the covenant relationship between God and people runs through the Bible from beginning to end. The covenant is made, broken, and remade again and again. The death of Jesus on a cross was the final act by which God renewed the relationship of love and trust. So, says the author, the meaning of the Bible can best be unlocked by using the covenant as a special key. The covenant story is here divided into acts and scenes in order to emphasize that the Bible is a great drama played on the living stage of history. Following this absorbing drama, the reader ceases to think of the Bible as a confusing collection of stories, poems, songs, sermons, and prayers and becomes vividly aware of its grand design. The author has written this book as a practical guide to understanding the Bible for youth and adults. He is eager to bring to them the insights of biblical scholarship, to lead them to an intensive and intelligent study of the Bible, and to move them to identify themselves as actors in the continuing drama of salvation by the grace of God. Parents, teachers, and other adults will also find profit and satisfaction in this pastor's extraordinary gift of narration and interpretation. The Covenant Story of the Bible is written with a contagious conviction and enthusiasm. The author has struggled to answer the recurring question: How do I adequately communicate the story of the Bible to the young people of my church? Thus the book has come out of a pastoral concern and long teaching experience.
Download or read book Americanist Approaches to The Book of Mormon written by Elizabeth Fenton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-18 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the sacred text of a modern religious movement of global reach, The Book of Mormon has undeniable historical significance. That significance, this volume shows, is inextricable from the intricacy of its literary form and the audacity of its historical vision. This landmark collection brings together a diverse range of scholars in American literary studies and related fields to definitively establish The Book of Mormon as an indispensable object of Americanist inquiry not least because it is, among other things, a form of Americanist inquiry in its own right--a creative, critical reading of "America." Drawing on formalist criticism, literary and cultural theory, book history, religious studies, and even anthropological field work, Americanist Approaches to The Book of Mormon captures as never before the full dimensions and resonances of this "American Bible."
