Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Restoration Movement of the Nineteenth Century When one appears before an audience and asks a hearing he should be able to give good reasons for the request. This is a busy age, and we have no time to give to the man without a message. This is true alike of the preacher, the politician, the philosopher and the bookmaker; hence the author feels it his duty, before asking the reader to go with him through the following pages, to tell him why they were written. They were written: 1. Because we need a brief history. Richardson´s great work, "Memoirs of A. Campbell," a classic of its kind, and a book with a permanent place in literature, has 1,248 pages. The masses will not read it because of its size. Only the preacher and teacher, and not all of them, will read it. Moore´s "Comprehensive History of the Disciples of Christ," of one volume, has 860 pages, and is therefore subject to the same objections. The demand is for a book not half so large as these, and yet sufficiently large to give a clear conception of this Restoration movement. 2. Because we need a later history. Richardson´s "Memoirs" were written in 1868, almost a half century in the past, and we need the wonderful story of the almost half century since that time. A history of the United States covering only half of our existence, however valuable, must be supplemented by one of a later date. 3. Because of ignorance concerning our mission. Like every new movement in the history of the world, this one has been misunderstood and misrepresented. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
