Bible and Theology in the Brethren
Editor: Neil T.R. Dickson and T.J. Marinello
£20 + p&p
The papers collected in this book of essays are an introduction to some of the ways in which Bible and theology have been understood and used within the Brethren movement. The heart of the book is a series of chapters on individuals such as S. P. Tregelles, George Müller, William Kelly, F. F. Bruce, and Victor Danielsen. Other chapters examine, among other things, the Bible in evangelism, attitudes to systematic theology, women’s roles and dress, twentieth-century biblical scholars, and controversy over the Eternal Sonship of Christ.
