About This Item
Melbourne: Scribe Publications, 2008. Paperback octavo, very good condition, pages faintly toned as usual, minor edgewear. 314 pp. The most comprehensive book ever written about the Exclusive Brethren. It details their origins in the United Kingdom in the 19th century, their fractious history, their use of scripture to control members and dissidents, and their lucrative business and financial arrangements. This is a fascinating story of influence and power exercised across several continents, including Australia - where this tiny Christian sect seems to have a privileged existence, and has attempted to influence government.
