Publisher's Note

     This edition of In The Beginning was created from an optical scan of the original publication. In the process of correcting errors generated by the scanning process, errors in the original text were also discovered and corrections were made where the intended text was apparent (a list of those errors is available from the publisher upon request).

     It is our hope that by making this work available on the Internet free of charge it may enjoy wide distribution.  It is the our belief that its message reflects what is likely the most vital need of the Christian community today--for all believers to embrace each other in love as brothers, accepted in the Lord whose Spirit we share, in spite of the fact that we cannot share a complete understanding of everything God has said in scripture.

     Although his message was directed primarily to the heirs of the Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement in America, Carl Ketcherside has rendered a service to the entire Christian community by pointing out the fundamental cause of religious division and by enabling us to recognize the only basis upon which Christian unity will ever be found.
