Excerpt from The Rise of the Current Reformation, or a Study in the History of Theology of the Disciples of Christ
Primitive Christianity was the first historic realization of the Chris tian principle. It had the advantage of all others, in that it was nearer the source; in that it was under the personal direction of Jesus and His Apostles; in that it had the Special inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Here enter some crucial questions in the determination of the character of the original church and its normative relation to other periods. In how far does the Divine Spirit, and in how far does the human enter to make up the empirical content of Primitive Christianity? Did Jesus care for the spirit, merely, and leave the form to take care of itself?

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins and core beliefs of the Christian Church movement known as the Current Reformation or Disciples of Christ. The author looks to the past to review the evolution of Christian doctrine and fundamental precepts, with an emphasis on the role of the Protestant Reformation in shaping the Current Reformation. Key themes in the book are the search for Christian unity and a return to primitive Christianity, using the Bible as the sole authority. The movement rejected creeds and sought to practice universal brotherhood and discipleship through a personal relationship with God and Christ. By drawing connections between the historical development of Christian thought and the beliefs of the Current Reformation, this book offers insights into the theological journey that ultimately led to the formation of this distinctive branch of Christianity.
