  • Campbellite and Restorationist Traditions in the South
    CAMPBELLITE AND RESTORATIONIST TRADITIONS IN THE SOUTH (Converted to html from Lippy, Charles H. Bibliography of Religion in the South. Macon GA: Mercer University Press, 1985. Used with permission of Mercer University Press) THE FRENZIED EXCITEMENT of nineteenth-century frontier revivalism not only helped to imprint the evangelical style on much of Southern religion, but also led to the emergence of an interest in returning to the practices of primitive Christianity. Both commonsense rationalists and emotional revivalists sought to return to a presumably more pure Christian practice untainted by the accretions of time that had corrupted authentic Christianity. While this restorationist impulse attracted many campmeeting advocates, including Barton W. Stone, in time it coalesced around Alexander Campbell (1788-1866). Restorationists discarded denominational labels at first as signs of division within the one church, preferring to call themselves simply "Christians." In time, however, the followers of Alexander Campbell grew into one of the first indigenous denominations in the United States, the Disciples of Christ or the Christian Church. As the movement grew, it enlarged its vision to include a conviction that American society itself could be transformed into a culture replicating the pure simplicity of New Testament Christian communities even as it extended its following into both the North and the South. For many years Campbell maintained an unofficial headquarters in Bethany, West Virginia. As with other groups, the sectional divisions over slavery brought tension to the movement, which combined with disagreement over religious practices (such as the use of musical instruments in worship, the support of ecumenical missionary societies, and the like) to split the developing denomination in two by 1906, 276 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF RELIGION IN THE SOUTH though for all practical purposes the emerging schism was obvious at least two decades earlier.

Preaching and Sermons Robert H. Ellison In the opening chapter of The Oxford Handbook of the British Sermon 1689-1901, William Gibson estimates that as many as ‘25 million unique sermon performances’ took place throughout the British empire between the end of the Glorious Revolution and the death of Queen Victoria.1 While only a fraction of these sermons were ultimately published, the corpus of available texts is massive as well: extrapolating from the data in John Gordon Spaulding’s Pulpit Publications (1996), Gibson estimates that some ‘80,000 individual…sermons’ were published during this period of time.2 Numbers like this are a mixed blessing for scholars. On the one hand, the sheer size of the canon suggests a virtually endless store of topics to pursue, and advances in digitization have made more texts readily available than ever before.

  • 59-A Firm Foundation Copy
    A Firm Foundation “However, the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, let every one that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness” (2 Tim. 2:19). The phrase “Firm Foundation” is the name of a religious journal among brethren, published in Austin, Texas and originating in either the latter part of the 19th century or early part of the 20th. The journal was champion in opposing the “Gospel Advocate” (a journal also among brethren, published in Nashville, Tennessee). The latter paper espoused the doctrine that Baptists (or others practicing immersion) who were baptized to “obey Christ” need not be “rebaptized” when they sought fellowship in churches of Christ. The controversy raged for several years. The phrase “How firm a foundation” is part of a stanza we sing from a beloved hymn. Paul’s words from 2 Timothy 2:19 was not written to promote the rebaptism teaching (however accurate that may have been); it was written following his exposing of two brothers, Hymenaeus and Philetus, whose profane babblings said “the resurrection is already past.” God’s “firm foundation,” something that would endure through the years, was this seal: “The Lord knoweth them that are his;” and, “Let everyone that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.” The first of these statements -- “The Lord knoweth them that are his” -- carried a necessary implication, namely “The Lord does not know those who are not his.” Indeed, Jesus made this statement in the sermon on the Mount: “I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Mt.

  • The Meaning of Symbols in Our Worship of God at Midway Hills Christian Church
    The Symbols of Worship 11001 Midway Road Dallas, TX 75229 214-352-4841 Church office Website: www.midwayhills.org The Meaning of Symbols in Our Worship of God at Midway Hills Christian Church Since the beginning of time, humankind has sought ways to express the spiritual significance of the universe. Art, religion, and music are some of our greatest efforts at these expressions of the eternal, unearthly, and unspoken meaning of life. These all find a powerful expression of unearthly truths when used in combination in the Christian Faith. Art, by means of architecture and its allied arts (mosaic, stained glass, etc.) determines the initial impact that the house of worship has on people in the community, especially on every person who enters the door of the church. It reflects the theology of the church members and echoes the liturgy of every worship service. Every church adopts its own symbolic represen- tations of the eternal values that it proclaims through beauty, proportion, color, and the many symbols throughout its house of worship. The vision of Midway Hills Christian Church is to create in worship a strong sense of the holy. However, we cannot engineer God’s presence. But we can design the spoken word, music, prayers, and powerful religious symbols that invite the divine grace of God to impact our hearts, minds, and souls. Though this booklet endeavors to make us more aware of the unique art forms adopted and utilized by Midway Hills Christian Church, in reality, all art must essentially be interpreted by each individual person viewing it.

Ill* H INTRODUCTION The Michigan Historical Collections are a special library of The University of Michigan, con- taining the archives of the University and papers of individuals and organizations throughout Michi- gan. In the beginning there were two different projects. One, begun by Professor Lewis G. Vander Velde in 1934, was a program of collecting manuscript and printed materials relating to Michigan history, primarily for the use of graduate students in his seminar. The other program concerned the collecting and preservation of records of the University. To accomplish this purpose, President Alexander G. Ruthven appointed The Committee on University Archives, of which Professor Vander Velde was the secretary. Firmly convinced that a comprehen- sive collection of manuscripts dealing with the history of the University and the State would be use- ful for students and scholars, he began a vigorous campaign of letter writing and personal visits. Housed for a time in a room in the Clements Library, in 1938, needing more space, the papers were moved into the newly opened Rackham Building. In the same year the Regents established the Michigan Historical Collections and appointed Professor Vander Velde the Director.
