Synopsis
Many assumptions and misconceptions have been made about the early Plymouth Christian Brethren, an evangelical secessionist movement. In this book, James Callahan discusses various aspects of the early Brethren and provides for readers an enlightened understanding of the people and their movement. He examines the issues involved in the search for a description of the movement; the basis upon which the Brethren's primitivist orientation can be explained; the idealism associated with the Brethren's primitivism; the subject of prophecy; and the revived interest in apostolic Christianity. The book is structured in a chronological pattern with a focus on the writings produced during the late 1830s through the early 1840s and on the writings that focus on that time period.

Review
Dr. Callahan shows that the early Brethren movement was dedicated to the authority of the apostolic church but not necessarily to its restoration,... (Theology Digest)
The greatest strength of Callahan's presentation is the new perspective he brings to the self-identity of the early Brethren. (Church History: Studies in Christianity and Culture)
Callahan follows an introductory historiographical essay with four heavily documented chapters in which he briefly chronicles the early formation of the group, its place both among and against other British dissenters, and its role in British millenarianism and prophecy conferences. (The Catholic Historical Review)
...this study will be a very welcome addition to the available literature. (Theological Book Review)
