This book is a biography of a gospel preacher and editor, Ben Franklin (1812-1878). who was of the Stone-Campbell religious heritage. He was one of many gospel preachers of that heritage who was mainly self-educated, but is of historical note due to his popular religious journal, American Christian Review. He wrote “with a “sharp pen.” (p. 291

Franklin's ministry was mainly conducted during the volatile years preceding and during the American Civil War. Although he lived in the north (Ohio and Indiana), his publication was widely read by people on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line. Like Alexander Campbell and many other Disciples, Franklin believed that American slavery was a political issue, not a religious issue (p. 147).

Following the Civil War, he remained faithful to what he perceived to be the ancient apostolic plea. A contemporary, W. K. Pendleton, “...noted in Franklin's thinking a fundamental error which had widespread popularity with a certain element. This was the belief that anything for which there was not a 'Thus Saith the Lord' must be rejected" (p. 225). Franklin grew to be against an innovations in the church (e.g., missionary societies and use of musical instruments) and other digressive behavior, such as the construction of what he considered to be elegant church buildings (see especially, Chapter XV).

Readers will likely be impressed by the many early leaders of the Disciples of Christ that were known by Franklin (Thomas and Alexander Campbell, Alexander Hall, John Taffe, David S. Burnet, Moses E. Lard, J. W. McGarvey, Arthur Cirhfield, W. S. Russell, Ovid Butler, Isaac Errett, and Knowles Show) – to name just a few. Unfortunately, no index is provided, hence, using this book as a research source is a chore.

Of special interest to me: The book notes a “B. H. Smith” of Bloomington, Illinois (p. 121) and quotes the antislavery resolution developed by “J. W. Lamphear” [note, it should be spelled “Lanphear”] and adopted by the Ohio Christian Missionary Society in 1863 (pp. 187-188). [Lanphear served as the minister of the Christian Church in Bloomington during 1857-1860].

A few photos are included in the book. The lack of a decent index is a big minus.

As my interests are to learn more of my Stone-Campbell religious heritage, I enjoyed the book and benefited from it. I think persons of like interest will also benefit from the book. I was able to purchase a “new” copy on the Internet, otherwise it may be found on the used book market or in some academic libraries. ( )
