The Living Oracles is a translation of the New Testament created by Alexander Campbell, the early Restoration Movement leader who stressed as paramount the reliance on few essentials as well as what item?
Alexander Campbell (clergyman) Alexander Campbell (12 September 1788 – 4 March 1866) was a Scots-Irish immigrant who became an ordained minister in the United States and joined his father Thomas Campbell as a leader of a reform effort that is historically known as the Restoration Movement, and by some as the "Stone-Campbell Movement." It resulted in the development of non-denominational Christian churches, which stressed reliance on scripture and few essentials.
Stylite A stylite (from Greek στυλίτης, "stylitēs", "pillar dweller", derived from στῦλος, "stylos", "pillar", Syriac: ܐܣܛܘܢܐ‎ "ʼasṯonáyé") or pillar-saint is a type of Christian ascetic who live on pillars, preaching, fasting and praying. Stylites believe that the mortification of their bodies would help ensure the salvation of their souls. Stylites were common in the early days of the Byzantine Empire. The first known stylite was Simeon Stylites the Elder who climbed a pillar in Syria in 423 and remained there until his death 37 years later.
