Excerpt from Origin of the Disciples of Christ: A Contribution to the Centennial Anniversary of the Birth of Alexander Campbell
In order to meet the objections of these adversaries, Mr. Glas resolved to investigate the whole question of national covenanting in the light of the Scriptures. The issue of these researches was difierent from any thing he had anticipated. By means of them he not only withdrew the foundation of strict biblical pre cept from beneath the feet of the Cameronians, but the supports upon which his own Church, was estab lished were, in his judgment, likewise destroyed. These covenants, whether in their ancient or their modern observance, proceeded all alike upon the sup position that a connection between Church and State is in accordance with the teachings of the Sacred Word. (glas's Narrative, pp. 1 - 25, also p. On his attaining to the conviction that a union of this nature was not provided for in the New Testament, Mr. Glas became displeased with his own position in the Established Church, as well as with the represen tations of the Cameronians. He was more than ever confirmed in the resolution to take to himself no other rule but the word of God.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origin of the Disciples of Christ, tracing their history back to the Sandemanian sect of Scotland. The author dismisses claims that the Disciples are an offshoot of mainstream Protestantism, instead arguing that they are rooted in Sandemanian literalism. The book delves into the central ideas and practices that define the Disciples, exploring the influence of John Glas and Robert Sandeman on their beliefs. By comparing and contrasting the Disciples with the Sandemanians, the author sheds light on the unique blend of practices and beliefs that shaped the Disciples' identity. Ultimately, this book offers a fresh perspective on the origins of a significant American religious movement, demonstrating that its roots lie not in mainstream Protestantism but in the radical ideas of early 18th-century Scottish dissenters.
