Great synopsis of history of Plymouth Brethren
Having grown up in a New Testament assembly which meets along the lines of the Plymouth Brethren movement, I really enjoyed reading about the history of this group of people who believed in meeting according to New Testament principles rather than that which men have made traditional.

This is an honest account of the movement and includes things many people would rather not have recorded as well as the great things done by those who desire to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.My only desire is that believers today would have the same zeal as those men in the 1800's who desired to follow Christ. ...

Chief Men Among the Brethren
Chief Men Among the Brethren provides a fascinating survey into the lives of nineteenth century Christians.Pickering communicates a story about Englishmen and Irishmen of almost ultra apostolic character and lifestyle(but not office ! ) who left fortunes, vocations andclerical positions inthe established church to spawn a movement which has had a far reaching(albeit largely unknown) influence on the theology of much of conservativeChristianity, Baptists and American Fundamentalists. The formatofferspictures andbiographies of most of the early "Plymouth Brethren" including the insightful Mr. John Nelson Darby, his colleague, thebrilliant William Kelly with his mind for the universe and the ever popularyet poignant C.H.M. (Charles Henry Macintosh).The book serves as an amplehistorical resource for anyone studying this movement. Yet, shining throughthis historical sketch is their Biblical theology, their simplicity, theirdisdain for the clergy and their personal sacrifice and adoration for theascended Christ. It is clearly written and at times inspirational. Itincites the reader to desire to follow on in their footsteps. Indeed, forthose seeking spiritual encouragement, Chief Men Among the Brethrendescribes the lives of men who believed God, walked with God and desired toraise the standard of historic New Testament Christianity beyond thebaneful confines of denominational bigotry. Henry Pickering has providedmaterial on their conversion, the circumstances that led to theirunderstanding of the simplicity of gathering alone to the Name of the LordJesus Christ on the ground of the Unity of the One Body of Christ (theChurch) and separation from the world. In his effort, he does not fail toevoke the excitement of those early days. I highly recommend this excellentresource. ... Read more
