Alexander Campbell and His New Version by Cecil K. Thomas (St. Louis, MO: The Bethany Press, 1958)

This is an extended treatment of a Bible version created by Restoration movement leader Alexander Campbell. It is a generally favorable treatment that seems to find it more important than it was. It also has a bit of feel of promoting the Revised Standard Version. Thomas writes about “the striking way in which Alexander Campbell anticipated, by some one hundred twenty-five years, many of the most striking features of the Revised Standard Version” (p. 10). It appears a few years after the RSV. The “Introduction” was written by Luther A. Weigle, the chair of the RSV translation committee. He writes that “there is so large a degree of likeness between Campell’s translation and the Revised Standard Version of our own day” (p. 13).

Speaking of Alexander Campbell, Google Books has Volume 1, 1830, of his periodical The Millennial Harbinger (as well as some other volumes).
