The dream of restoring primitive Christianity lies close to the core of the identity of some American denominations---Churches of Christ, Latter-day Saints, some Mennonites, and a variety of Holiness and Pentecostal denominations. But how can a return to ancient Christianity be sustained in a world increasingly driven by modernization? What meaning might such a vision have in the modern world? Twelve distinguished scholars explore these and related questions in this provocative book.

"The quest for the restoration of the church's pristine purity is one of the most powerful forces in American Protestantism, yet one of the most neglected by scholars of American religious history. This volume is ground-breaking in its attempt to discuss the pervasiveness of this concept in the American religious landscape... The list of contributors to this volume reads like a Who's Who of American religious historiography." -- W. Glenn Jonas, Journal of the American Academy of Religion
