Restoring the First-century Church in the Twenty-first Century: Essays on the Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement, in Honor of Don Haymes

(Eugene, Oregon: Wipf & Stock, 2005)

Don HaymesAt the recent Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Religion and Society of Biblical Literature in Philadelphia, Don Haymes was honored with a 626-page Festschrift. The book appeared as the first volume in a series edited by David Bundy of Fuller Theological Seminary: Studies in the History and Culture of World Christianities.

Don Haymes has been the social conscience of Churches of Christ, when there were few prophetic voices heard in the 1960s, challenging churches to reject segregation. Some of his historical reflections are online as Race and the Church of Christ on the Restoration Movement website. See also the tragico-comic orientation called “The Church of Christ Establishment (1966)“. Elsewhere, see also Don's “9.5 Theses on the Ministry of Women in the New Testament and the New Testament Church“. Haymes has also been a perceptive historian of the Stone-Campbell movment and presently serves as archivist and historian at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, Indiana.
