Bible Student Movement
The Bible Student movement is a Millennialist Restorationist Christian movement. It emerged from the teachings and ministry of Charles Taze Russell (1852–1916), also known as Pastor Russell, and his founding of the Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society in 1881. Members of the movement have variously referred to themselves as ''Bible Students'', ''International Bible Students'', ''Associated Bible Students'', or ''Independent Bible Students''. A number of schisms developed within the congregations of Bible Students associated with the Watch Tower Society between 1909 and 1932. The most significant split began in 1917 following the election of Joseph Franklin Rutherford as president of the Watch Tower Society two months after Russell's death. The schism began with Rutherford's controversial replacement of four of the Society's board of directors and publication of ''The Finished Mystery'' in July 1917. Thousands of members left congregations of Bible Students associated with the Wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Studies In The Scriptures
''Studies in the Scriptures'' is a series of publications, intended as a Bible study aid, containing seven volumes of great importance to the history of the Bible Student movement, and the early history of Jehovah's Witnesses. Origin The author of the first six volumes of ''Studies in the Scriptures'', Charles Taze Russell, reported that he did not write them "through visions and dreams, nor by God's audible voice," but that he sought "to bring together these long scattered fragments of truth". The first volume was written in 1886. Originally entitled ''The Plan of the Ages'' as part of a series called ''Millennial Dawn'', it was later renamed ''The Divine Plan of the Ages''. The name ''Studies in the Scriptures'' was adopted in limited editions around October 1904 and was more generally used from 1906. Purpose The series was written as a Bible study aid. Russell held that topical study was the best approach, rather than verse by verse. The series contains commentary about biblica ...
