Renewing the World: A Concise Global History of the Stone-Campbell Movement

by Gary Holloway & Douglas A. Foster Description Barton Stone, Thomas Campbell, and Alexander Campbell organized a nineteenth-century Christian renewal movement that later coalesced into three distinct church bodies in the United States: Churches of Christ, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and Christian Churches and Churches of Christ. What is less known is that from these humble origins, the Stone-Campbell Movement has grown globally, now with churches in more than 199 countries. This book tells the story from the movement's beginnings all the way to its international expansion into Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Complete with a study guide and personal reflection questions, this book is ideal for longtime members, new members, and those unfamiliar with the Stone-Campbell heritage. About the Authors Gary Holloway serves as executive director of the World Convention of Churches of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee. Douglas A. Foster is a professor of church history
