Union in truth

by James B. North

More than 200 years ago James O'Kelley and his followers left the Methodist Episcopal Church and began the first of several movements in America which coalesced into what later came to be called "The Restoration Movement." Over the next couple of decades, numerous other individuals soon also left their denominational moorings and sailed toward a new identity as "Christians only." It is the perspective of this author that the Restoration Movement has two central foci -- the concern for Christian union, and the concern for biblical authority. Everything that happens in the history of the Restoration Movement is the direct result of one or the other or both of these concerns. - Back cover.
