Overview

Light on a people's forward path comes from behind - from the past. Because Cumberland Presbyterians are eager for illumination for their ongoing mission this set of books have been written. In A People Called Cumberland Presbyterians three writers have endeavored to directly and effectively present the convictions, dedication and purpose that formed this Presbyterian denomination on the American frontier and have impelled it through more than 160 years to the present. The books illuminate some of the most distinctive traits of the church. Many persons and events come to life in it. Not only the better known heroes and heroines of the movement are presented, but also many of the lesser known who play colorful and significant roles, and details typical of the ongoing life of the church are here, along with accounts of the stirring hours of its history.

Author Information

When Thomas Hardesty Campbell (1907-1989) wrote Good News on the Frontier in the early 1960s it is unlikely that he imagined that the book would still be in print over forty years later. Good News on the Frontier was written to be a Cumberland Presbyterian companion volume to Through the Ages, the Covenant Life Curriculum course devoted to broader church history. Good News was published in 1964 and quickly captured the affection of Cumberland Presbyterians. Even though a much more comprehensive church history, A People Called Cumberland Presbyterian, appeared in 1972, many people still looked to Good News as an effective overview and easy study. During a ministry that lasted over sixty years, Dr. Thomas H. Campbell served as President and Dean of Memphis Theological Seminary and as a historian for the Cumberland Presbyterian denomination. Some of his other publications include A History of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Texas (1936), Studies in Cumberland Presbyterian History (1944), A People Called Cumberland Presbyterian (1972), A Handbook on New Testament Theology (1973), Arkansas Cumberland Presbyterians (1985), Winds of Doctrine (1989), and For the Building Up of the Church (1995). At the time of his death, Dr. Campbell was writing Why I Am a Cumberland Presbyterian, which remains unfinished.
