Historical Sketch of the Dover Bible Fund About fifteen years ago some of the saints meeting to the Lord’s Name near Dover, PA, were exercised to make the New Translation of the Bible by J. N. Darby available at the lowest possible price. There were other dependable sources of this translation, but the desire was to have a quantity of them available for immediate distribution at the cost of nothing more than recovering expenses. For many years now Larry and Sandy Wolf have faithfully operated the bookroom as a labor of love and in fellowship with the local assembly. Recent health problems have required Larry Wolf to 'retire' from the bookroom. Jonathan Reed will now operate the bookroom with help from Richard Reed and Melissa Schultz. The bookroom began with just a few Bibles, but Larry Wolf gradually expanded the stock to include many Bible study aids and volumes of ministry of several of the servants the Lord raised up in the recovery to the truth of the assembly. The original exercise has been broadened now to include Bibles, trusted ministry, various study helps, and a presence on the Internet. Tapes of meetings are now in the process of being added to the inventory. As the Lord allows, we will continue to make our inventory available to seekers at our cost. We do not operate at a profit because we are most interested in making the truth available to as many as the Lord may send our way. We are very grateful to the dear brethren who operate Kingston Bible Trust in England. Without their assistance, this little ministry would not have been possible. Richard Reed,   Sat, 20 Jul 2002. With Christ: November 29, 2004 Compare History: The Stow Hill Depot From: Richard Reed, Dover Bible Fund, EducatorReedATyahoo.com York, PA, 17404, USA Mon, 26 Aug 2002 Special thanks to dear brother Gordon for all the help and encouragement he has given us.

From Awakening to Secession
Radical Evangelicals in Switzerland and Britain, 1815-35

Distributors in North America: Books International,

Telephone 1-800-359-7340 or fax 1-703-661-1501

Publisher's Note

This is a study of the impact of the Swiss Réveil (Awakening) on British evangelicals in the 1820s. Timothy Stunt rediscovers the common ground which was shared by a wide spectrum of Christians who were later seen as mutually hostile. The author considers the influence of the Awakening on radical attitudes to mission and ecclesiastical radicalism in Ireland, pre-Tractarian Oxford, and Scotland. In dealing with the reluctant movement towards secession from the established church, Stunt illuminates and reinterprets the origins of the early Catholic Apostolic Church and the Brethren.

'… a work of great importance.' Professor Andrew F Walls, University of Edinburgh

'This original, well-documented study fits new pieces into the jigsaw of Evangelical history. It describes the network of radical movements as far apart as Dublin, Glasgow, Devon and Geneva, whose members were fired by similar charismatic and millennial hopes into abandoning their established churches and forming new religious movements. Stunt's book illustrates the international aspects of the great Evangelical awakening after 1789.' Dr John Walsh, University of Oxford

'… a significant contribution to scholarship at the highest level.' Professor D. W. Bebbington, University of Stirling

Contents:
1. Introduction: A Century of Reason and Revolution
2. The Genevan Réveil
3. The Réveil in the Canton of Vaud
4. Awakenings in the Canton of Berne
5. The Impact of the Swiss Réveil in Britain
6. Radical Missionary Perspectives
7. Ecclesiastical Radicals in Ireland
8. Pre-Tractarian Oxford

Timothy Stunt has taught History in Switzerland, Britain, and the United States. He has contributed numerous articles to The New Dictionary of National Biography, including biographies of J. N. Darby, H. B. Bulteel and F. W. Newman.

J. N. Darby's Synopsis of the Books of the Bible

This "Christian Classics Ethereal Library" link has the complete text for the New Testament, Volumes 3 – 5.

JND's Synopsis in HTML on "Crosswalk.com"

JND says the reader is not "to suppose that he has a book which he can read without referring continually to the word itself in the part treated of. The object of the book is to help a Christian, desirous of reading the word of God with profit, in seizing the scope and connection of that which it contains. Deeply convinced of the divine inspiration of the scriptures, given to us of God … the writer only hopes to help the reader in the study of them".

Opinion and Comment on the Exclusive Brethren

Trevor Hill says, "Here we take a close look at some of the issues relating to the Exclusive Brethren movement".

• He says further, "What I am endeavouring to do is provide some information on 'meatier' issues - perhaps doctrinal matters or drawing attention to serious contradiction among the 'authoritative teachings' of the EB".

A History of the Plymouth Brethren

• Mr. F. E. Raven wrote in 1902, "I have seen the book of Neatby to which you refer, and it produced on my mind the same impression as it has done on yours, it is the work of an Edomite, not a trace of sorrow for the breakdown of that which was fair", Letters, page 187.
• Nevertheless as it is one of the earliest histories, often referred to by others, you might – despite its strong bias against JND – be interested.
• See Mailbox: Andrew Norman Nov. 9, 2000 – Mar. 9, 2001 and Dan Soukoreff for Jan. 4 – Feb. 3, 2001.
