One issue I noticed after the fact: Oneida lasted one or two generations. For some reason I say a bit later they last 'a year or two'. Missed that in editing. :)
Great lectures, all of them. Very objective and wide access to the topics. Lectures are very helpful for both, theology and history students. Thank you. Greetings from Croatia :)
Is there a different video on the Restoration movement? I don't know if I blinked and missed it, or if there was anything about the Stone-Campbell movement in this video?
Can see why one would thing that. They actually were quite influential in their day, just hardly remembered now. Besides the main point there is the extremism that came in to holiness movements, more than anything.
The fact that so many groups sprouted in the Upstate New York area after the Second Great Awakening is actually rather important. They call the region "The Burned Over District". The response (aftermath) of revivals and awakenings is important to understanding the human and cultural responses to the phenomena. It speaks of human nature's response to the spiritual. Not all responses are what we might call "'doctrinally' sound" or spiritually motivated. We should expect that when revival or awakening comes again, the same type of groups will sprout-- some sheep, some not (lol). Knowing what happened then will help us recognize it and, perhaps, know how to deal with it in the future. --Also, Oneida Ltd. closed the last functioning factory in 2014.
