{"product_id":"9780802869753","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.
