What Has Made Us Who We Are? The Spanish philosopher, George Santayana, is credited with the often paraphrased proverb, “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Perhaps the reasoning behind such a saying is found in a similar proverb from the pen of Oliver Wendell Holmes, “Learn from the mistakes of others….You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.” I love history. I like to read it, to study it, to visit places where significant events occurred, to hear older people recount their experiences, and watch it unfold in movies and TV. I think my love for it goes back to the influence of my parents, grand-parents, some interesting authors and a couple of very good history teachers. This is especially true when it comes to the history of the church. The first source of church history is the Bible. The New Testament is, in large part, a historical narrative. While it takes many forms, such as letters, parables/stories, prophecy, hymns, even law code, taken as a whole we get to see something of the historical development of the early days of the church that our Lord said He was going to build. Extra-biblical literature, written both during and after the writing of the New Testament, also gives us helpful insight. While we may not treat them with the same respect as we do God’s inspired Word, these are still very helpful. Of particular interest to those of us who call churches of Christ home is the Restoration Movement. It happened in early 19th century America, during a period known as the Second Great Awakening. It was highly influenced by the Reformation Movement that preceded it in Europe during the early 16th century. Beginning today, I’ll be teaching a class in the blue room that will seek to give a bit of historical context to what has influenced the churches of Christ in America. I hope to inform, affirm and challenge us as we seek to take a candid look at what has made us who we are. We will try to learn from our history, “the good, the bad and the ugly.” Brad
