The American Restoration Movement holds an integral place in America’s
religious history. Dreams of uniting Christians from all sects and denominations
filled the minds and hearts of a group of people known as Disciples.
Yet, what began as a Movement based on “union in truth,” divided
in less than 100 years. Torn Asunder examines the forces, issues, and personalities
behind the officially-recognized 1906 division of the Disciples.
Ben Brewster is the Senior Minister for the Airline Drive Church of Christ
in Bossier City, Louisiana. He holds undergraduate degrees from Ohio Valley
University and Oklahoma Christian University. He also received an M.A. in
Church History from Cincinnati Bible Seminary. He and his wife Mendy have
two children: Hannah and Drew.
“Ben Brewster’s treatment of the issues that led to the division, and Lipscomb’s
role in them, is a helpful addition to this needed study. His work is
solidly researched, fluently presented, and carefully argued. Anyone wanting
to know more about the background of the division of 1906 can profit from
reading this book. It will enlighten, challenge, and stimulate.”
