The Stone-Campbell and associated movements from their beginning harnessed the power of the printing press to advocate for religious freedom and theological reform. James O'Kelly in Virginia and North Carolina, Abner Jones and Elias Smith in New England and the Mid-Atlantic states, Barton W. Stone in Kentucky and Tennessee, and Thomas and Alexander Campbell with Walter Scott across the Ohio Valley and the Western Reserve employed a steady stream of published tracts, periodicals and books to advance their causes.
This series hosts published books and tracts by, from or about these movements, their leaders, shapers, adherents, principles, and values. Each item is available in full-text PDF download. They are arranged in alphabetical order by the author's last name or by the first word in cases of corporate authorship (such as American Christian Missionary Society). Use the search box to your left to find items by title, author or keyword.
