{"product_id":"the-encyclopedia-of-the-stonecampbell-movement","title":"The Encyclopedia of the Stone-Campbell Movement","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith roots in British and American endeavors to restore apostolic Christianity  the Stone-Campbell Movement drew its inspiration from the independent efforts of nineteenth-century religious reformers Barton W. Stone and the father-son team of Thomas and Alexander Campbell. The union of these two movements in the 1830s and the growth of the new body thrust it into a place of significance in early nineteenth-century America  and it quickly spread to other parts of the English-speaking world.  From its beginnings the Movement has developed into one of the most vital and diverse Christian traditions in the world. Today it encompasses three major American communions -- Churches of Christ  the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)  and Christian Churches\/Churches of Christ -- as well as united churches in several other countries.  Over ten years in the making  The Encyclopedia of the Stone-Campbell Movement offers for the first time a sweeping historical and theological treatment of this complex  vibrant global communion. Written by more than 300 contributors  this major reference work contains over 700 original articles covering all of the significant individuals  events  places  and theological tenets that have shaped the Movement. Much more than simply a historical dictionary  this volume also constitutes an interpretive work reflecting historical consensus among Stone-Campbell scholars  even as it attempts to present a fair  representative picture of the rich heritage that is the Stone-Campbell Movement.  Scores of photographs and illustrations (many quite rare) enrich and enliven the text  and an extensive  carefully prepared index facilitates ready access to important information throughout the volume.
