A Distinct People: A History of the Churches of Christ in the 20th Century

By Robert E. Hooper

...The result of over a decade of research.... This is a groundbreaking study that will be a jumping off point for work on Churches of Christ for many years to come. Dr. Douglas A. Foster, Assistant Professor of Church History, Abilene Christian University ...An important book, carefully researched and written, and badly needed by our brotherhood.... I am delighted that it is now available to everyone concerned about our past or our future. Dr. Bill Humble, Director, Center for Restoration Studies Abilene Christian University Few people are as well-read in American Church History as Hooper.... His insights into personalities and issues come from careful research. Some will shock traditionalists, others will annoy revisionists, and all will engage serious students. Dr. Rubel Shelly, Minister, Woodmont Hills Church of Christ ...A quick-paced and engaging narrative.... In its pages the reader comes to know the giants who have shaped our fellowship. I would recommend this book to all members of the church who want to understand where we are and where we are going. Gregory A. Tidwell, Minister
