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.
