Discovering Our Roots: The Ancestry of Churches of Christ

This rich and challenging book explores the roots or ancestry of the Churches of Christ and others who stand as heirs to the Stone-Campbell movement of the early nineteenth century. It asks, 'Where did we come from? How did we get this way? Why do we read the Bible the way we do? What has been the heart of our movement?' And it asks further, 'What can we learn from those who have viewed restoration of apostolic Christianity in ways quite different from our own?' The authors begin their story in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries - the age of Renaissance and Reformation. They isolate the stream of restorationist thought that arose in that age and then follow that stream through the Puritans, the early Baptists in America, the frenzy of pure beginnings in the early decades of American nationhood, and down to the Stone-Campbell movement.

Cruciform Church: Becoming a Cross-Shaped People in a Secular World

Distant Voices: Discovering a Forgotten Past for a Changing Church

<p>WHAT IS LEFT OF THE GOSPEL IF YOU TAKE AWAY THE CROSS? This central question, asked by C. L. Loos but tucked away in a nineteenth-century journal, launched The Cruciform Church twenty-five years ago. Read by a generation of ministers and church leaders, The Cruciform Church began a reimagination of the church in our increasingly, secular age. Now updated, with responses from eight key leaders, this contemporary classic aims to reach a new generation with the critical questions of faith and life.

Cruciform Church, Revised and Expanded Edition: Becoming a Cross-Shaped People in a Secular World

Abilene Christian University Press

<p>In an age marked by loneliness, estrangement and the vacuous spiritualities increasingly offered to fill the void, this book offers much-needed wisdom for recovering a biblical Spirituality rooted in the triune nature of God. It offers not only a fully biblical view of God's relational nature, but also an equally biblical view of humans as relational beings, created in the image of God. It will provide enormous benefit to anyone seeking to discern the contours of a contemporary biblical Spirituality.</p>
