Christian History Magazine—Issue 106: The Church to End All Churches? The Unifying Vision of the Stone-Campbell Movement

Gain insight into one of America’s most obscure but influential movements—the Stone-Campbell movement—with this issue of Christian History magazine. Also known as the Restoration Movement, it began on the colonial frontier in places such as western Pennsylvania, western Virginia, and northeast Kentucky. Founders Barton Stone, Thomas Campbell, and Alexander Campbell sought to restore early Christian morality, creating communities based solely on New Testament ethics. They were among the first of a number of American frontier Christian groups who emphasized a return to the values of the primitive church. • “Freedom’s Ferment” by Richard Hughes • “No Name but the Name of Christ” by D.
