Imbler: Journalism’s Deep Roots in the Stone-Campbell Movement Journalism’s Deep Roots in the Stone-Campbell Movement John M. Imbler As the recently constituted nation was expanding beyond the settled northeast, in- formation on a variety of subjects was carried by an increasing number of newly estab- lished local presses. Presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin observes, “With few public entertainments in rural America (c. 1850s), villages and farmers regarded the spo- ken word and political debates as riveting spectator sports.” She continues, “Following such debates, the dueling remarks were regularly printed in their entirety in newspapers then reprinted in pamphlet form…where they provoked discourse over a wide space and prolonged time.”1 While her analysis refers to the general population, it also reflects the character of the Stone-Campbell people who were heavily invested in publications.

Churches of Christ and the Lord's Supper
Churches of Christ and the Lord’s Supper: Twentieth Century Perspectives* John Mark Hicks Lipscomb University Nashville, Tennessee Alexander Campbell’s famous sentence, “In the house of God there is always the table of the Lord,” embodies the essence of Stone- Campbell Eucharistic theology and practice.1 This simple sentence describes the weekly celebration of the Lord’s Supper on the Lord’s Day in the presence of God as a joyous feast. The “house of God” is the weekly assembly of the saints where God and his people meet. Those assembled “must feel” themselves as “specially [sic] in the presence of the Lord, not as on other days or in other places.”2 Campbell possessed “a deep and solemn conviction that the [assembly] is the house of God—the temple of the Holy Spirit—and that we are, especially and emphatically, in the presence of the Lord while we are engaged in his worship.” Every occasion of the “assemblies of the saints” is a “meeting with the Lord.”3 Against the backdrop of Scottish Presbyterianism and Independents as well as in the context of a typological hermeneutic, “table” is a significant theological and liturgical term for Campbell. Extending the typological hermeneutic by recalling the language of Leviticus 23, Campbell calls the day of “assembly” a “day of rest, of peace, of joy, a festival sacred to the Lord.”4 Presbyterian sacramental solemnities, whether Scottish or American, were often characterized by the intense practice of penitential spiritual disciplines, including _________ *This paper was presented at the meeting of the Stone- Campbell Dialogue in June 2007 at University Christian Church, Austin, Texas.

By David R. Kenney I Highly Respect Alexander
by David R. Kenney Light AboveFrom I highly respect Alexander Campbell’s sentiment that all spiritual and physical light comes from above – from God and His Word. n 1832, Alexander Campbell’s friend Louis Hobbs, who had constructed some of Bethany College’s buildings, built a Iunique study about 150 feet away from Campbell’s “Mansion.” The study was originally made as a six- sided (hexagonal) brick structure more than 15 feet in height and nearly 17 feet in diameter with a Gothic-style doorway, Gothic window designs (but no actual windows), and four interior walls lined with four sets of book- shelves more than eight feet in height and encased with sliding glass doors that kept Campbell’s main library. Originally, the only windows were the two narrow windows beside the front door, but the primary source of light for the study was a special cupola on the roof with windows to al- low in sunlight. Campbell commented about the design of the study, particu- larly about the lighting for it, by stat- ing “lux descendit e caelo,” which is Portrait of Alexander Campbell Latin for “light descends from above.” painted by James Bogle, 1857. 38 Gospel advocate • March 2013 It is reported that he would state that all light, physical and spiritual, comes from above, so he wanted to harness this “light from above” for his study. Campbell was often referred to as “the sage of Bethany,” a title he certainly earned. He was a serious student of the Scriptures. When he was under his father’s training for ministry, Campbell followed a study regimen that he maintained throughout his life: “Arrangement for studies for winter of 1810.

Tucked away among the small collection of biblical commentaries (featuring titles by Lipscomb and Shepherd, E. M. Zerr, and Albert Barnes) that my grandfather kept and regularly consulted were copies of two books that were later very influential in my spiritual development: David Lipscomb’s Civil Government – in the mint-green reprint edition published by M. Lynnwood Smith – and Ottis Castleberry’s He Looked for a City , the only published study of Lewis’ life and work. Early on, I was captivated by the pictures in Castleberry’s book. The first pictures I ever saw of David Lipscomb and of the Spruce Street campus of the Nashville Bible School were in that book. Indeed, the photographs of Lewis himself functioned in an almost iconic way for me, the seriousness of his expressions matched by the seriousness and the gravity of the older men in the congregations where I worshipped as a boy.

“An End to Unjust Inequality in the World” the Radical Tradition of Progressive Evangelicalism
Church History Church History and and Religious Culture 94 (2014) 505–530 Religious Culture brill.com/chrc “An End to Unjust Inequality in the World” The Radical Tradition of Progressive Evangelicalism Randall Balmer Dartmouth College, Hanover, nh, United States [email protected] Abstract Since the emergence of the Religious Right in the late 1970s, American evangelical- ism has commonly been associated with conservative politics. An examination of nineteenth-century evangelicalism, however, suggests a different affinity. Antebellum evangelicals marched in the vanguard of social change with an agenda that almost invariably advocated for those on the margins of society, including women and African Americans. Evangelicals were involved in peace crusades and the temperance move- ment, a response to social ills associated with rampant alcohol consumption in the early republic. They advocated equal rights for women, including voting rights. Evan- gelicals in the North crusaded against slavery. Although Horace Mann, a Unitarian from Massachusetts, is the person most often associated with the rise of common schools, Protestants of a more evangelical stripe were early advocates of public educa- tion, including leaders in Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky. Some evangelicals, including Charles Grandison Finney, even excoriated capitalism as inconsistent with Christian principles. Keywords Evangelicals – progressivism – American politics – American public religion With the emergence of the Religious Right in the late 1970s, evangelical political
