Produktbeschreibung
The Disciples of Christ is a historical and theological book written by the American minister and theologian, Errett Gates, and published in 1905. The book explores the origins, beliefs, and practices of the Disciples of Christ, a Protestant denomination that emerged in the early 19th century in the United States. Gates traces the roots of the Disciples of Christ back to the Restoration Movement, a religious movement that sought to restore the original teachings and practices of the early Christian church. He discusses the key figures and events that shaped the movement, including Thomas and Alexander Campbell, Barton W. Stone, and the American frontier revivalism of the Second Great Awakening. The book also examines the distinctive beliefs and practices of the Disciples of Christ, such as their rejection of creeds and confessions of faith, their emphasis on the authority of the Bible, and their practice of baptism by immersion. Gates explores the theological debates and controversies that arose within the denomination, including the tension between tradition and innovation, the role of women in the church, and the relationship between the Disciples of Christ and other Christian denominations. Overall, The Disciples of Christ provides a comprehensive and insightful overview of the history and theology of one of the most significant Protestant denominations in American religious history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
