New Book:
Warren Lewis
& Hans Rollmann (edits.),
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)
 At 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.
The book has a list price of $65 but is available
