Consistent Information With My Personal Research/ExperienceBy WilliamI enjoyed Dr. Schweitzer's piece on the Campbellite church of Christ. It certainly has paralleled my experience with various coC congregations in Texas and Tennessee. I would recommend this book to those from the .Certainly no local coC is created the same, or is it? By earthly design, they remain congregational, which has its advantages, but which one is the true Bride of Christ? Some are ldquo;Old Pathrdquo; minded, some in the middle and some progressive. Interestingly, what you find are the same core doctrine (as interpreted by Campbell, Stone, Scott, Lard, Lipscomb, Harding, Hardeman, etc.) in each, but a different application of Law and Gospel. Obviously, there is a high focus of law on the ldquo;Old Pathrdquo; side and more gospel on the progressive side.The bottom line is that the things Dr. Schweitzer mentions can be found in churches who wear the description , even if itrsquo;s not in your local church of Christ (escape hatch slammed shut). These churches pride themselves in having no formal creeds or written doctrinal positions, which is a perfectly acceptable. The weakness is that these church brethren are hard to identify doctrinally from local church to local church because they in a lot of cases cannot agree and condemn each other over non essentials or essentials. Confessional Lutherans on the other hand are fairly unified on topics of doctrine as stated in our writings on the subject. The weakness in our written doctrine is that they are out there for all to criticize and are used to poorly characterize the whole Lutheran faith. Another weakness is that if not read by the critic, they are automatically assumed to be writings of men with no Biblical basis. I for one agree that the Bible is the sole source of truth, but I have seen the lack of a formal stance (doctrine) on Bible subject matter as a nice escape hatch for those who choose not to write them down.My takeaway from Dr. Schweitzerrsquo;s piece as well as my own research is this. Every coC member should know their history. They should study where their doctrines came from. I understand that they need to believe that their doctrine is from the Bible only; wersquo;d all like to believe this. In fact, their doctrine is from the Bible, but only after being filtered through the lens of like-minded and uninspired men whether it was formally or informally. Luther, Melanchthon, Walther, etc were no more divinely inspired in the formulation of the Lutheran doctrine than the men who facilitated the Restoration Movement. Luther was wrong at times and so were the coC, earthly, founding fathers. Learn your history, so that you can question and argue with the men who originated your doctrine before rebuking others by simply saying ldquo;what does the Bible say?rdquo; Understand where your beliefs truly came from (menrsquo;s interpretations/self-made hermeneutics + Scripture) in total before you condemn others for doing the exact same.I like Campbell and Luther, dream that all Christians could live and worship, acting as the ldquo;one bodyrdquo; we were intended to be. To get there, it is helpful to know where we come down doctrinally, so that we may understand each other and hopefully continue to dive into the Word together for peace that can only be found in the grace we have been given.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Insightful and Accurate AnalysisBy revjpetersonSchweitzer has an excellent grasp of Biblical theology, coupled with first-hand experience as a member of the Campbellite movement, which contribute to his excellent scholarly analysis of their theology. A must- read for anyone who is in the Campbellite movement or other Restorationist traditions or for scholars and students of religion alike.
