Stone-Campbell Research Tools
I have two good friends who have invested time, money and effort in making some valuable texts and tools available to researchers and those who are interested in reading original texts of significant Stone-Campbell works.
Barry Jones has made available the following texts for PDF searching. You can find them here.
- Bible Banner
- Christian Baptist
- Millennial Harbinger
- Gospel Guardian
- Lard’s Quarterly
- Millennial Harbinger
I have used his PDF files in recent weeks. I have found them extremely helpful and could quickly find material that otherwise would have taken me weeks to discover through reading hard copies or microfilm. The state of the scanning is quite good and searchable though with the usual problems of searching these kinds of files. Nevertheless I have found the PDF files invaluable.
Bob Lewis is another longtime friend who has been publishing Stone-Campbell original texts through the Web or on Kindle for several years now. His Stone-Campbell e-Print Library provides Kindle access for several significant works (such as Ketcherside, Leroy Garrett, Richardson’s Memoirs of Alexander Campbell and W. T. Moore’s Comprehensive History of the Disciples of Christ).
Bod has links to significant journals and works on his Stone-Campbell.org website (including Stone’s Christian Messenger).
I recommend supporting and patronizing both of Dr. Jones and Dr. Lewis. They are providing a wonderful service for researchers and those who love reading in Stone-Campbell history and theology.
Blessings on both their efforts!
