This full-length study of the Christadelphians interprets their thought and development - historical, theological, sociological and anthropological. The author seeks to add to our understanding of the role of millennialism in American religious and cultural history.

This book vividly recovers the lost world of the Victorians in which everyone thought, spoke, and argued through scripture. Larsen presents lively individual case studies of well known figures from different religious and sceptical traditions, including Florence Nightingale, T. H. Huxley, C. H. Spurgeon and Catherine Booth.
