Excerpt from An Address on the Life and Labors of Alexander Campbell: Delivered at Bethany, W. V., June 26th, 1866, by the Request of the Board of Trustees of Bethany College Why was Alexander Campbell so much sought after and \so much beloved? If Apelles alone could paint Alexander of Mac edon, who can paint Alexander Campbell? It is no easy task! His presence was very imposing, a noble and great man. Your eye was upon his eye, and apart from his face many forgot what manner of man he was. An admiring Kentucky lady hearer be ing asked, in 1825, when he wore a suit of Kentucky jeans, the fashion of that time and region, how he was dressed, replied, in a splendid suit of black, of course, but I did not notice.

The first critical biography of Alexander Campbell, one of the founders of the Stone-Campbell Movement A Life of Alexander Campbell examines the core identity of a gifted and determined reformer to whom millions of Christians around the globe today owe much of their identity—whether they know it or not. Douglas Foster assesses principal parts of Campbell’s life and thought to discover his significance for American Christianity and the worldwide movement that emerged from his work. He examines Campbell’s formation in Ireland, his creation and execution of a reform of Christianity beginning in America, and his despair at the destruction of his vision by the American Civil War. A Life of Alexander Campbell shows why this important but sometimes misunderstood and neglected figure belongs at the heart of the American religious story.
