BAHN encourages the study and writing of the history of the Brethren movement.
The aims of the BAHN are:
- To support the development of archives of the history of the Christian Brethren, the deposit of material in such archives and to make their resources better known.
- To encourage research into Brethren history world-wide, to assist those writing on such topics and to encourage cooperation, and greater understanding of the development of the movement.
- To support the publication and circulation of historical works on the Brethren, and to increase awareness of them.

Müller is famous for his faith in God’s provision for orphans, but there was so much more to Müller than this. He pastored Bethesda Chapel in Bristol, sponsored home and foreign mission through his Scripture Knowledge Institution, supported schools in Bristol and throughout Britain and elsewhere, embarked on worldwide preaching tours, and decisively shaped the identity of the Brethren movement. Neil Summerton objectively explains all these aspects of Müller’s life and work, aided by many freshly composed charts and tables.
'This monograph successfully combines scholarly appraisal with warm admiration.' Prof. David Bebbington
