Several recent publications suggest interest in Stone-Campbell history thought, and theology is by no means dormant. The sample listed below reflects a wide scope of interest. Some focus intently on local or regional history, while others are thematic, anecdotal, or institutional. Some are designed to be immediately accessible to any reader, while others require varying degrees of prior knowledge. Below are just a few, I intend to regularly post updates as new material is published.
