Churches of Christ are now in a time when the dominant voices of the twentieth-century tradition are being questioned - gently by some, more sharply by others. In a time of questioning, it helps to hear some of the "distant voices" - those who once occupied a significant place in the heritage but who have been remembered selectively or not at all.

This book is an exercise in remembering. It listens to some of the forgotten voices - voices like:

  • Barton Stone
  • Nancy Cram
  • Alexander Campbell
  • Robert Richardson
  • Benjamin Franklin
  • David Lipscomb
  • Burke Hinsdale
  • Silena Holman
  • T.B. Larimore
  • James A. Harding
  • K.C. Moser
  • G.C. Brewer and others.

These distant voices invite the reader to pull up a chair and listen in on the lively conversations out of which the heritage of Churches of Christ took shape. By listening in, one will discover a heritage that is broader, richer and more diverse than previously imagined. In the process one will also catch bright glints of time-tarnished ideals, and find unexpected resources for today.
