    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.

    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.

CLINE 1940-1991 Editorial In Memory of William S. Cline Brother William S. Cline left this life for eternity with the redeemed Tuesday night, December 10, 1991. After almost three years of valiantly battling cancer and bearing its attendant pain, his passing was an easy one. Bill was born on November 9, 1940, in Columbus, Mississippi. He attended Auburn University and David Lipscomb College, and began to preach full-time in 1961 at Pleasantview, Tennessee. He worked later with congregations of Aberdeen, Mississippi; Leonard Street in Pensacola: and, Tabernacle, New Jersey; moving to Bellview in 1968. He graduated from Alabama Christian School of Religion where he was lauded by Rex A. Turner, Sr., as one of the top students to ever attend. Brother Cline worked with Bellview for a total of fifteen years. During that time, the church saw great growth and expansion into many areas of work. He began and edited a monthly publication, Defender, which begins its twenty- first year with this issue. He was the founder and first director of the Bellview Preacher Training School and began the annual Bellview Lectures and publication of the lectureship book. He encouraged the church to take on the oversight of the work of brother Ira Y. Rice, Jr. His influence brought many of the greatest preachers of this century to the Bellview congregation.

    TOWARD a SACRAMENTAL INTERPRETATION of JOHN 6:51C-58 for the CHURCHES of the STONE-CAMPBELL TRADITION

    SPIRITUALLY FEEDING, MUTUALLY INDWELLING: TOWARD A SACRAMENTAL INTERPRETATION OF JOHN 6:51c-58 FOR THE CHURCHES OF THE STONE-CAMPBELL TRADITION Paul M. Blowers Dean E. Walker Professor of Church History Emmanuel School of Religion In all of John 6, the chapter that has been called the “Grand Central Station” of John since it is a crossroads for so many of this Gospel’s distinctive themes,1 the singularly most controversial passage has been vv. 51c-58. Having already declared himself to be the bread from heaven, the bread of life (vv. 32-38), Jesus shifts in vv. 51c- 58 to identifying the bread of heaven explicitly—indeed graphically—with his flesh and blood, and asserts that only those who eat his flesh and drink his blood receive eternal life. Is Jesus directly alluding to the Eucharist here, or is he simply speaking in figurative terms of a deep and abiding spiritual communion with the bread of heaven? If he is alluding to the Eucharist, is he referring broadly to the faith that informs or is informed by eucharistic practice, or is he commending, in more narrowly “sacramental” terms, a material or instrumental “means of grace”? Perhaps these were not exactly the questions in the minds of those disciples who, at the time, called this a “hard saying” of Jesus (6:60). But they are the questions posed by puzzled interpreters in subsequent centuries, including many within the Stone-Campbell heritage. 1 David Anderson, The Christology of the Fourth Gospel: Its Unity and Disunity in the Light of John 6 (Valley Forge, Penn.: Trinity Press International, 1997), 7.
