A Story of Conflict: The Controversial Relationship Between Benjamin Wills Newton and John Nelson Darby

By Jonathan D. Burnham

Explores the story of conflictbetween B.W. Newton and J.N.Darby and the impact they hadon the early Brethren movement.Darby's eschatological views had farreaching effects on evangelicalism and Burnham explores the development of his prophetic system and his biblical literalism which led to his distinctive views on pretribulational premillenial dispensationalism. While having much in common with Darby Newton departed from him on key points.In many ways Newton and Darby were products of their times and this study of their relationship provides insight not only into the dynamics of early Brethrenism but also into the progress of nineteenthcentury English and Irish evangelicalism.
