Episode 71: How the American Revolution influenced the Church of Christ (Dr. Richard Hughes)

The Christian Chronicle Podcast

Over the last few hundred years, Christians in many different places and times moved to restore the New Testament church.
The Church of Christ community emerged from one of those movements that started and spread on the American frontier in the years just after the founding of the United States.
In this episode, we explore how the events, ideas, and people that influenced the establishment of the United States also influenced the movement from which the Church of Christ community emerged. Which assumptions, habits, and ideas does the Church of Christ community retain to this day from the founding of the United States?
Dr. Richard Hughes, one of the foremost historians of the Church of Christ, answers this question and more.
