""The contents are made up largely of sermons comprising the collection of the late Z. T. Sweeney, who originated and planned the series and edited the volumes already distributed. The purpose of New Testament Christianity, as our friends may already know, is twofold; as Mr. Sweeney announced: 1. To let our preachers--especially our young preachers--get a clear insight into the aims of the Restoration movement. 2. To arm them for the defense of the movement."" --From the Foreword by Mrs. Z. T. Sweeney Z. T. Sweeney (1849-1926) was a well-respected preacher and scholar. He had his longest period of service at his congregation in Columbus, Indiana from 1876-1889. Aside from his spiritual endeavors, Sweeney was a conservationist who, from 1897-1911, spoke on the protection of game and fish in every part of the state. His other titles include: The Spirit and the Word, New Testament Christianity, Vol. 1, and New Testament Christianity, Vol. 2.
