H. A. Ironside’s history of the so-called “Plymouth Brethren” stands today as one of the best and probably most readable histories of the movement ever written. Not only is it readable, but it is honest, and fair. This is a warts-and-all account written by a man who had a deep love for the movement he believed so strongly was a movement of God, and for the people who were involved in it.

H. A. Ironside was involved in the movement for many years, and even after he took up the head pastorate of Moody Church, during those years he must have always kept a close eye on her, sharing in her joys as well as her sorrows. Ironside is one of the most well-known Evangelical authors of the 20th century and was affectionately known in his time as the Archbishop of Fundamentalism.

In relation to the text itself it must be said that we have found a number of defective texts circulating online at the time of this printing, some charging no small price for a butchered and mangled edition of this important history.

We have endeavoured to present a text that is faithful to the original while being accessible in a modern format. We have found some editions with only 13 chapters, chapter 11 “The Open Brethren” being completely omitted, with the second half of chapter 10 missing also. These editions, even some of the better ones are missing key footnotes, italics and subdivision headers that Ironside had included in his original. You will find all 14 chapters in this edition. You will also find the original 5 appendixes here, which is another conspicuously absent feature in some defective editions. That’s 6 whole chapters plus notes and formatting. Almost one third of the book!

So rest assured you are not only getting one of the best written histories of the movement, but also the best modern reprint available today. And don’t forget we publish all of H. A. Ironside’s books in modern editions, including his bestselling commentary series. Many of these are listed at the end of this book and can all be found through your favourite online booksellers.  Just search for CrossReach Publications!
