Without question, the essays in this volume are landmarks in the historiography and self-understanding of the Stone Campbell Movement, especially Churches of Christ. Written by two insiders and one outsider, each reflects significant developments in Stone-Campbell studies in the last forty years...Read, learn, and enjoy! -From the Introduction, By Douglas Foster

In times of change, Christians have always sought enduring answers from the pages of Scripture. Our hermeneutic - our method of organizing and understanding the message of the Bible - predetermines what answers we will glean. But is our process of understanding based on the Bible, or on our cultural and historical assumptions? Dr. Thomas Olbricht looks back on the last sixty years in Churches of Christ and offers his observations of how our perceptions of Scripture have changed and evolved. He clears a path through the shifting thickets of an unsteady world; a path that leads toward the Everlasting - a way to hear God's voice.

Biographies & Memoirs

No one has thought more about the history and future of Churches of Christ than Richard Hughes. In this volume he powerfully demonstrates how an understanding of our history can help us be 'more biblical, more faithful to the cross, and more devoted to the cause of God.' Not content merely to tell what happened, Hughes pushes readers to see the implications of our history for both individuals and churches. Focusing on competing ways we have interpreted Scripture, he proposes a radial remedy to our cultural accommodation, lack of voice for social justice, and abandonment of the original vision for restoration. His love for Churches of Christ is clear as he calls us to reclaim the strengths of our heritage in order to be all that God would have us be. - Douglas Foster

Christian Books & Bibles

'Writers - poets and novelists, playwrights and bards - have always been essential witnesses to the ambiguities…the all-encompassing mysteries of birth and death, primary witnesses to matters of God and the soul. Unfortunately many of these witnesses have been sidelined in the curricula of our schools for the last fifty or so years, depriving us of ready access to the very language that is essential for living humanly. thanks to this new edition of Shadow &amp; Light they are back on the playing field, taking their rightful place as witnesses to unexpurgated life.' - Eugene Peterson, Professor of Spiritual Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, BC

Shadow & Light: Literature and the Life of Faith, 2nd Edition

Literature & Fiction

History & Criticism

Walt McDonald is one of America's great poets. His words bless, console, and delight. His insights astonish because he is not only an accomplished poet, but a communicator of extraordinary Christian conviction. In facing the joys and sorrows of life, he never fails to convey pathos, hope and joy. His works, no matter the particular subject at hand, demonstrate a deep hunger to know God and the ever-present evidence of grace in his life. In Walt McDonald one finds the consummate verbal artist, the finest poet ever to have come out of the American Restoration Movement. McDonald is well known in the secular world as one of the finest poets of the land. It is high time that Christians discover this gem of a poet in their midst."" Darryl Tippens Provost, Pepperdine University Co-editor, Shadow &amp; Light: Literature and the Life of Faith.

Unfinished Reconciliation: Justice, Racism & Churches of Christ

Gary Holloway

John York

Few figures in Churches of Christ have had more influence - or been surrounded - by more controversy - than Leroy Garrett. For over fifty years, Leroy and his wife Ouida have ministered in churches all over the country, both in person, and by means of their periodical, Restoration Review. Now, Dr. Garrett has set down his own story in his own words: ""...And what was the quarrel about? Freedom! I was urging my church to join me in a pilgrimage of freedom. Freedom from sectarianism, legalism and obscurantism. Freedom to fully embrace the grace of God, and to be joyfully confident of our salvation..."" Starting with his humble beginnings on a hardscrabble farm near Dallas, continuing through a distinguished academic career at some of the nation's most prestigious universities, and chronicling his sometimes-stormy relationship with his brothers and sisters in Churches of Christ, Dr. Garrett gives a lively and heartwarming testimonial to the durability of love and the power of grace, even amid discord.
