Campbell, Alexander (1788–1866)

Irish-born US religious leader who emigrated to the USA in 1809. A Protestant exponent of a primitive Christianity based wholly on the Scriptures, he allied his church in 1832 with other disaffected sects to form the Disciples of Christ. He published a translation of the New Testament in 1826.

He was born near Ballymena, Northern Ireland. Once in the USA, he succeeded his father as pastor of an independent Protestant church at Brush Run, Pennsylvania, in 1813. In 1840 he founded Bethany College in West Virginia, serving as its president until his death.
