Restoration Appreciation
Author: John C. Nugent
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666736813
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
The Restoration Movement is one of the largest Christian traditions indigenous to the United States—boasting nearly four million adherents. Over the last century, however, it has suffered internal division, isolationism, declining institutions, and widespread ignorance of its own roots. The dynamism and solidarity that once typified our churches appears to be fading, which has many asking if the Restoration Movement has lost all momentum. Yet Jesus prayed for Christian unity and tied such unity to the world’s belief (John 17). Only a united church will convince unbelievers that God sent Jesus as his ultimate expression of love for them. This prayer propelled the early Movement into action and may do so again today. This highly accessible book invites restorationists to rise above the partisanship of our day, rally around our core commitments, and lead out in our strengths. It informs readers about the modest origins, unique resources, and current challenges facing our churches. It fosters stimulating conversations about mission, race, creeds, Scripture, education, unity, humility, and relevance. If it’s time for you, your congregation, or your students to encounter or recover their restoration roots, then this book is for you!

Sins of Christendom
Author: Nathaniel Wiewora
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 025205539X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
Evangelical criticism of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints dates back to the earliest days of the Church. Nathaniel Wiewora uses the diverse animus expressed by evangelicals to illuminate how they used an imaginary Church as a proxy to disagree, attack, compromise, and settle differences among themselves. As Wiewora shows, the evangelical practice to contrast itself with the emerging faith not only encompassed but also went beyond religious matters. If Joseph Smith was accused of muddling religious truth, he and his followers also faced accusations of immoral economic practices and a sinful regard for wealth that reflected worries within the evangelical world. Attacks on Latter-day Saints’ emotional religious displays, the Book of Mormon’s authenticity, and the dangerous ideas represented by Nauvoo paralleled similar conflicts. Wiewora traces how the failure to blunt the Church’s success led evangelicals to change their own methods and pursue the religious education infrastructure that came to define parts of the movement.

Author: Richard Thomas Hughes
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 9780252060298
Category : Political Science

Book Description
The dream of restoring primitive Christianity lies close to the core of the identity of some American denominations---Churches of Christ, Latter-day Saints, some Mennonites, and a variety of Holiness and Pentecostal denominations. But how can a return to ancient Christianity be sustained in a world increasingly driven by modernization? What meaning might such a vision have in the modern world?

Praying to Jesus
Author: Andrew Hallenbeck
Publisher: Andrew Hallenbeck
ISBN: 146114244X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
"Andrew Hallenbeck's new book, Praying to Jesus, is an encyclopedia of information that absolutely devastates the antagonistic viewpoint that it is wrong to speak to Christ. With a vast body of evidence, both ancient and modern, he biblically and logically has argued that communication with our Savior is entirely in harmony with biblical teaching. His extensive material on Stephen's prayer to Christ, as this first Christian martyr was being stoned, is unique and unanswerable." -- Wayne Jackson, foreword
