The Brethren

The Brethren - a historical and theological review - "200th Anniversary edition"

Dr David A Smith

The past places us on a path, to determine its destination, we must understand it well.

“The Brethren” provides a concise overview of the formation and early years of the Brethren and then presents a compelling analysis of the major theological themes that contributed to its genesis, their implication for us today, and helpful insights for the movement going forward.

“He who calls all into unity and community, into a relationship with himself, also calls all in their diversity to be conformed to Christ in their relationship with the world, to serve him by dying to self for the sake of the world and so to glorify his name in the world. This must be the goal!”
