Restorationism is a religious movement that seeks to return to the original teachings and practices of early Christianity. It emphasizes the idea that modern churches have deviated from the true faith, and advocates for a restoration of the beliefs and practices found in the New Testament. This movement has led to the formation of various denominations, such as the Restoration Movement in the 19th century, which includes groups like the Disciples of Christ and the Church of Christ. Restorationists often prioritize the authority of scripture and aim for unity among Christians by eliminating denominational divisions.
