Why Do All Die?

If the surety or substitute, Christ Jesus, must suffer the penalties of the law, and part of those penalties were eternal death, then must he be eternally suffering death; and if justification or pardon cannot be granted till the demands against the sinner be satisfied, it follows that it cannot forever be obtained; for it will require an eternity to suffer the demand. If he suffered temporal death as a substitute, or in the stead of those under the sentence of death, why do all die?

—Barton W. Stone

No Subject So Vital as the Death of Christ

There is no subject so vital to man as the death of Christ.—The designs of his death are interwoven with all the designs of the universe, and are replete with the temporal, spiritual, and eternal destinies of man. Christ crucified is the most transcendent mystery in the moral dominions of God. Its power is the mainspring of all heavenly impulses, and it is itself the consummation of all divine wisdom and prudence. As all earthly waters arise from the ocean and descend to it, so the deep and the high counsels of God issue in this mysterious fact and emanate from it.

—Alexander Campbell

NEW RELEASE: Atonement

We would like to announce our newest title – Atonement: An Exchange in the Millennial Harbinger (1840-1841) by Barton W. Stone and Alexander Campbell – is now available.

Atonement (cover)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).

This book is a series of articles written by Stone and Campbell on the topic of atonement. Both papers published this exchange, but this collection is taken from The Millennial Harbinger and was published in 1840-1841. This discussion shows how these two leading men of the movement understood this subject and remains a valuable resource today.

LIMITED TIME OFFER: Through October 16, 2018, Atonement is on sale for 10% off the regular price.
