Reviving The Ancient Faith

Description

James L. Gorman’s fresh edition of Richard T. Hughes’s classic work, Reviving the Ancient Faith, illuminates the Church of Christ movement started by Barton Stone and Alexander Campbell in the nineteenth century. The Churches of Christ are best known for their attempt to restore a primitive and nondenominational Christianity. The authors trace the movement’s sociological transformation into a denomination from the 1830s into the twentieth century. Balanced and well-documented, Reviving the Ancient Faith is the perfect textbook for classes on the history of the Churches of Christ.
