The Restoration Heritage in America: A Biblical Appeal for Today
Overview
America is entering its bicentennial year. The nation is called upon to remember its heritage. In order to take advantage of that emphasis, the Florida College faculty presents this work to direct thinking toward the “heritage” left to us in the lives and writings of fellow Christians who have gone before. One should recognize that here the child of God is totally committed to Christ. He pays no spiritual allegiance to any man or federation of men. His authority is the Word of Christ. His title is the name of Christ. His creed is the doctrine of Christ. His home is the church of Christ. His hope is the glory of Christ. No man started the church of which he is a part. The Restoration figures wrestled with the same issues (both doctrinal and ethical) with which we wrestle. The purpose of this study is to examine how they handled the issues and problems we are facing today. Our “heritage” is the story of Christians in America who loved the truth and left us a chronicle of the results of their study and of the application of their conclusions as to their walk before God. Their record is not authoritative—at times is untrue or inconsistent—but it is inspiring and enlightening when one is searching seriously for the “ancient order.”
