With generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and as part of the National Endowment of the Humanities Open Book program, the Abilene Christian University’s ACU Press and ACU’s Brown Library partnered with the Disciples of Christ Historical Society to digitize twenty-five important backlist titles relevant to Stone-Campbell tradition, theology, and church history.
