Overview
Discusses various aspects of the early Plymouth Christian Brethren and provides for readers an enlightened understanding of the people and their evangelical secessionist movement. The book is structured chronologically, with a focus on writings produced during the late 1830s through the early 1840s and writings that focus on that time period. The greatest strength of Callahan's presentation is the new perspective he brings to the self-identity of the early Brethren. - CHURCH HISTORY
