We would like to announce our newest title – Alexander Campbell and Thomas Jefferson: A Comparative Study of Two Old Virginians by Leroy Garrett – is now available.
Alexander Campbell and Thomas Jefferson were two revolutionary thinkers whose ideas helped launch a movement – one in the realm of religion, the other in the realm of politics. Campbell’s message of restoration helped lead believers back to the Bible. Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence helped give birth to a new nation.
Both men hailed from Virginia. Their lives, philosophies, and missions shared many similarities. This material examines these two old Virginians for lessons that are enlightening even for our generation today.
This edition also includes some thoughts from Alexander Campbell on natural rights which he wrote in the Christian Baptist.
Barton W. Stone (1772-1844) and Alexander Campbell (1788-1866) were the two principle leaders of the Restoration Movement (also called the Stone-Campbell Movement). Both men exerted their influence through preaching and as editors of religious papers – The Christian Messenger (Stone) and The Millennial Harbinger (Campbell).
