Standard Publishing has been a publisher of Christian material for 150 years. The founding of Standard Publishing parallels the history of the restoration movement.〔Brian P Clark, "An Analysis of the Organizing Functions of the Christian Standard in the Restoration Movement Christian Churches/Churches of Christ" (M.A. Thesis, Wheaton College, 1998)〕 Isaac Erret, Herbert Moninger, J. D. Murch, Lillie Faris. Guy P. Leavitt, C. P. Sharp, P. H. Welshimer, W. R. Walker, and Burris Butler were all editors, publishers, and contributors and were all leaders of the restoration movement (1790-1825). ==Founding== Standard Publishing began with a group of physicians, attorneys, educators, preachers, and James A. Garfield, who would later become the twentieth president of the United States. In December 1865, this group met at the home of T. W. Phillips,〔 〕 a noted businessman and philanthropist in New Castle, Pennsylvania. They met to consider launching a journal that would be "devoted to New Testament Christianity, its doctrine, its ordinances, and its fruits."〔 The group organized a publishing association, funded it with $20,000 in capital, and named the journal ''Christian Standard''. Errett of Detroit, Michigan, was named the first editor. The first issue came off the press dated April 7, 1866. Errett continued as editor, even as he became president of a new college in Alliance, Ohio, in 1868. In 1869, he partnered with R. W. Carroll, a printer and publisher, in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1872, Errett, Carroll, and Errett's 22-year-old son, Russell, incorporated their publishing house as Standard Publishing.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Standard Publishing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
