Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the origin and history of the Disciples of Christ movement, which began in the early 1800s as a call for a return to the original teachings and practices of the New Testament. The author explores the movement's roots in the Enlightenment, tracing its origins to the Presbyterian Springfield Presbytery in Kentucky. The book highlights the efforts of key figures like Thomas and Alexander Campbell, who sought to restore unity among Christians by emphasizing the essentials of faith as found in the Bible. It delves into the movement's core principles, including the rejection of creeds and human authority, the importance of believer's baptism, and the commemoration of the Lord's Supper as a memorial. The author examines the movement's impact on the religious landscape of the United States and beyond, and its role in promoting ecumenism and fostering dialogue among different Christian denominations. The book also discusses the challenges and controversies faced by the Disciples of Christ, including internal debates over issues of practice and doctrine. Through its exploration of the movement's history, the book provides insights into the quest for Christian unity, the nature of faith, and the enduring legacy of a movement that continues to influence the Christian world today.
