Sinopsis

Excerpt from Origin of the Disciples of Christ: A Contribution to the Centennial Anniversary of the Birth of Alexander Campbell

Numbers of myths have become collected about the name of Mr. Campbell, and about the origin of the people with whom he was connected. Certainly it can be nothing amiss to challenge these myths, to let in upon them the light of sober criticism, and to exhibit the facts as they really exist.

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.
