As we turn the page next week, I think it appropriate to review the year’s literature in the broad field of Stone-Campbell studies. Though the publishers seem to have scaled back the volume of new titles, several significant studies came our way this year.

Last week I quickly surveyed a few books published in 2009 which I think merit attention for their contribution to Stone-Campbell studies. I neglected to include a milestone publication in Biblical studies. About this time last year ACU Press issued The Transforming Word, a one-volume commentary on the Bible. It is a landmark achievement in [...]
