- Alexander Campbell (12 September 1788 – 4 March 1866) was an early leader in the Second Great Awakening of the religious movement that has been referred to as the Restoration, or Stone-Campbell Movement. The Campbell wing of the movement began with the publication in Washington County, Pennsylvania, of The Declaration and Address of the Christian Association of Washington in 1809, by his Father, Thomas Campbell. In 1832 The group of reformers led by the Campbells merged with a similar group that had begun in Kentucky under the leadership of Barton W. Stone. Several American church groups trace their history to Campbell's leadership, including the Churches of Christ, the Independent Christian Churches/Churches of Christ and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Campbell was born 12 September 1788 near Ballymena, County Antrim, Ireland. He was educated at the University of Glasgow, and was greatly influenced by Scottish Enlightenment philosophy, particularly that of John Locke. At age 21, Alexander traveled from Scotland with his mother and siblings, to join Thomas who had migrated to America in 1807. Alexander and the rest of the family arrived just prior to publication of The Declaration and Address, in 1809. Alexander soon became a significant leader among the reformers. Alexander married Margaret Brown on March 12,1811. The couple resided in what is now known as the Alexander Campbell Mansion near Bethany, WV. Their first child, a daughter, was born on March 13,1812. This spurred Alexander to study the subject of baptism; he ultimately came to the conclusion that scripture did not support the baptism of infants. He edited and published two journals: The Christian Baptist from 1823 through 1830 and then The Millennial Harbinger from 1830 until his death in 1866. In both, he advocated the reform of Christianity as practiced on the American Frontier. He wrote several books, including The Christian System. He also wrote hymns, including Upon the Banks of Jordan Stood. Campbell compiled and published a translation of the New Testament under the title The Living Oracles. Published in 1826, it was based on a 17th century translation, with edits by Campbell. He served as a delegate to the Virginia constitutional convention held in the 1830s which led that state toward a more powerful executive branch of government. In 1840, He founded Bethany College in Bethany, Virginia. Campbell died 4 March 1866.
- Alexander Campbell (1788 - 1866), pastor vars förkunnelse bidrog till att en reformationsrörelse växte fram i USA i början av 1800-talet. Alexander Campbell föddes nära Ballymena i länet Antrim, Irland den 12 september 1788, som son till den presbyteriansk prästen Thomas Campbell. Alexander studerade senare vid universitetet i Glasgow och tog där djupa intryck av den skotska upplysningsfilosofin, med företrädare som John Locke. År 1800 reste Campbell till Amerika och var presbyteriansk präst i Bethany, då han 1812 övergick till baptismen. Campbell var redaktör för tidskriften The Christian Baptist från 1823 till 1830. I denna tidning torgförde han sina uppfattningar om kristen enhet och återupprättelse av den nytestamentliga församlingstanken. Han var också ombud vid staten Virginias konstitutionskonferens på 1830-talet. Från 1830 till sin död 1866 var han redaktör för The Millennial Harbinger. Campbell skrev också en del psalmer och en egen översättning av Nya Testamentet till modern engelska, The Living Oracles, publicerad 1826. Han grundade också Bethany College och skrev ett flertal böcker av vilken The Christian System kanske är den mest kända.
