Plymouth Brethren offers the first scholarly treatment of the
Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC), one of the largest
denominations within the Brethren movement that originated with
John Nelson Darby and a 19th-century revival in the British Isles.
The Brethren believed in restoring the purity of primitive
Christianity. While some saw this dream in ecumenical terms, those
who would eventually be called Exclusive Brethren came to believe
that true Christians should separate themselves from the corruption
of existing denominations, and break bread in their assemblies only
with those sharing their interpretation of the Bible. This book,
based on both historical research and participant observation of
contemporary communities, focuses on a case study of the Plymouth
Brethren Christian Church, one of the largest groups of the
Exclusive Brethren. Massimo Introvigne discusses their beliefs,
daily life, international school system, and charitable activities.
The book also examines the controversies surrounding their practice
of strict separation from those who are not part of their
community, and the accusations of cult-like behavior brought
against the Brethren by the media and some former members.
