emphasis on the Plymouth Brethren in the 19th century.
Background
Benjamin Wills Newton was an evangelist and author of Christian books. He was influential in the Plymouth Brethren. Although
initially a close friend of John Nelson Darby, their disagreement on matters of church doctrine and practice ultimately led
