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.
