Rezensionen

It is always interesting to consider different perspectives on a similar set of characters and events. Such is true when considering the heritage of the Restoration Movement.

Makers and Molders of the Restoration Movement by J.J. Haley presents short profiles of many of the main characters in the Restoration Movement in the nineteenth century. Thomas Campbell, Alexander Campbell, Barton Stone, Walter Scott, Isaac Errett, and Moses Lard are considered individually; the author also profiles two pairs in comparison and contrast: Winthrop Hopson and Gorge Longan and John McGarvey and Alexander Procter.

In the split of the Restoration Movement made apparent by 1906, the author went with the Disciples side; his choices reflect that particular ideological emphasis. He has a critical spirit toward what he deemed legalism and those who do not believe in some of the liberties in which he believed.

It was an interesting choice to start with the Campbells even though Stone’s work preceded both of them; it goes to show how much more of Campbell influenced the Restoration Movement rather than Stone.

It was good to get that different perspective on the same people and events and to be introduced to a few characters which most on the Churches of Christ side of that divide know little about. An interesting little work for those interested in such history.
