This is a reprint of the Centennial Celebration Edition published in 1908. Thomas Campbell was born February 1, 1763, in Ireland and migrated to the United States in 1807. A Presbyterian minister who grew tired of denominationalism set forth the reasons why in this publication. He proclaimed that all the churches had gone astray and encouraged them to use the New Testament as their guidebook.Barton W. Stone and others came to the same conclusion, which started the Restoration Movement - to restore the churches to the New Testament. Today, their followers are known as Disciples of Christ, Christians, and churches of Christ.
