The latest additions to Stone-Campbell digital archive\u00a0reflect the diversity of this movement. \u00a0A new online home for a 1960s-1980s periodical, rare ephemeral tracts and booklets, along with book-length collections of sermons, a debate, and a historical narrative round out this update.<\/p>\n

Mission Journal<\/em> was a unique voice among Churches of Christ periodicals during its 20-year lifespan. \u00a0Established in 1967,\u00a0Mission<\/em> provoked discussion about a range of social issues such as the Vietnam war, race, gender and sexuality, poverty, consumerism and how Christian faith intersects the life of the mind and life in both city and suburb. \u00a0In partnership with\u00a0Missio Dei<\/em> Journal<\/em> and friends of\u00a0Mission<\/em>, we have launched a drive to fund a digitization project that will place the complete run of Mission<\/em><\/a>\u00a0online in a fully searchable and downloadable form. \u00a0For more information about how you can assist with this project, visit\u00a0Missio Dei Journal<\/a>. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

R. N. Moody’s 23-page tract is “The Language of Two Ordinances: Reply to a Tract by R. S. Gavin<\/a>” concerns points of difference between Churches of Christ and Baptists about baptism. \u00a0Undated, we estimate this tract appeared in the 1920s.<\/p>\n

At the time Norvel Young delivered his address “The Urgent Need for Christian Education<\/a>” at the 1952 Abilene Christian College Bible lectures, he was preaching minister at the Broadway Church of Christ in Lubbock, Texas. \u00a0ACC President Don Morris prefaced the tract saying “Brother Young’s discussion is presented in a clear, frank, and objective way. Such a far-reaching, timely, and vital subject deserves the prayerful consideration of every Christian.”<\/p>\n

Richard Nathaniel Hogan was in 1940 one of the most well-known young evangelists among African-American Churches of Christ. \u00a0At the time (1940) his book, Sermons by Hogan<\/a>, was one of only a handful authored by black preachers in Churches of Christ. \u00a0It is a seminal text for the study of African-American preaching in Churches of Christ and we are pleased to make it available now for the first time online.<\/p>\n

In 1910 Sherman Sexton of Joelton, Tennessee (just north of Nashville), published a pamphlet of about 36 pages by T. J. Jackson entitled\u00a0My Mother and I or How “Tommy” Was Converted: Showing How The Holy Spirit Leads in Regeneration<\/a>. \u00a0A scarce item, with only our copy showing on Worldcat, this item will prove useful to anyone studying the Holy Spirit in Restoration thought and history.<\/p>\n

C. P. Roland’s Vanderbilt University MA thesis concentrates on the history of the Disciples in Tennessee to 1850. \u00a0Completed in 1931, it is an important early narrative thesis pulling together the early story of the Campbell movement in that state.<\/p>\n

J. N. Cowan of Robstown, Texas and Daniel Sommer, of Indianapolis, Indiana, debated for nearly a week<\/a> in Sullivan Indiana in November 1926. \u00a0Through the lens of this debate, we may explore the disputants’\u00a0doctrinal commitments in several areas, especially how they read the Bible and apply its teaching to the life of the church. \u00a0An interesting item of ephemera is pasted into the back of this book: a 1941 newspaper clipping describing a terrible accident that claimed Cowan’s life.<\/p>\n
