An American Religious Movement : A Brief History of the Disciples of Christ
Who are these Disciples of Christ? What are these Christian Churches or Churches of Christ which now constitute one of the major religious groups in the United States? When, where, and how did they begin, and how have they become what they are? They began early in the nineteenth century with the union of two separate movements, one of which had close kinship with two others. All four were alike in aiming to simplify the complexities of Christian faith and in going back of the creeds and the traditional practices of existing churches to the plain teaching of the New Testament. They believed that this was easy to understand, and that the divisions of Christendom would disappear if Christians would only agree to speak as the apostles spoke and to do as they did. They believed that man was sinful and needed Gods salvation; but they did not believe him to be so depraved by original sin that he could not, by the act of his own intelligence and by his own free will, accept the means of grace that have been provided. They wanted all the churches to unite on the basis of the simple and clear requirements of discipleship as given in the New Testament, leaving all doubtful and inferential matters in the field of opinion, in which every Christian should exercise liberty, and scrap the machinery of synods and bishops, for which they found no warrant in Scripture. Of the two main movements, the name of Barton W. Stone was most prominent in one; the names of Thomas and Alexander Campbell in the other. Stones movement (1804) began earlier than that of the Campbells (1809), but later than two others practically identical with it. But the Campbells was the more dynamic, especially after it gained the advocacy of Walter Scott, who set the pattern for its evangelism. These are the four great names in the early history of the DisciplesStone, Thomas Campbell, Alexander Campbell, and Scott. All four had been Presbyterians. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
