Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Hughes gives a fascinating account of the transformation of the nineteenth-century restorationist movement associated with Alexander Campbell and Barton W. Stone from sect to denomination. More properly, it is the story of the transformation of two movements marked by primitivism, apocalypticism, and "common sense realism" into a single sect, then into a single denomination, and finally into two denominations divided along cultural, sectional, and theological lines. Hughes notes "a maze of division" in the tradition but focuses his attention on a "mainstream" that has thrived in the twentieth century, "especially in a region running from middle Tennessee to west Texas." This maps a territory distinct from the other mainstream of the tradition, identified with the generally liberal, generally midwestern denomination known as Disciples of Christ. This is local history with global significance, an account of one way in which countercultural evasion of philosophy and denial of ideology have shaped philosophies, ideologies, and cultures in the U.S. Steve Schroeder
