From that afternoon of work I have a short list of names of evangelists who held forth from Christian Churches or Churches of Christ in Nashville from [...]

“To be a historian”: Quote without comment
Posted in history, Quotes, research, scholarship, State and Local History, writing on 10 January 2011 | Leave a Comment »
This from Doris Kearns Goodwin via Garrison Keillor’s “Writer’s Almanac” (with thanks to Don Haymes for passing it on to me): To be a historian is to discover the facts in context, to discover what things mean, to lay before the reader your reconstruction of time, place, mood, to empathize even when you disagree. You read [...]

Ultimately, we’ll talk about how our history can inform our mission. Join us [...]

Two local history blogs

Explorations in Stone-Campbell Bibliography: 2009 Year-In-Review
Posted in Alexander Campbell, book reviews, books, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, Christian Scholars' Conference, Churches of Christ, Explorations in Stone-Campbell Bibliography, history, Race, research, stone-campbell studies on 27 December 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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.
