The Christian Baptist, established in 1823 by Alexander Campbell, was the first magazine associated with the early Restoration Movement.[1][2] The prospectus for the Christian Baptist described its purpose as "[to] espouse the cause of no religious sect, excepting that ancient sect called 'Christians first at Antioch.' Its sole object shall be the eviction of truth, and the exposure of error in doctrine and practice."[1] The style has been described as "lively" and "sarcastic".[1] Campbell discontinued the Christian Baptist in 1830 and began publishing a new journal named the Millennial Harbinger which had a "milder tone".[1][3]
