The Peebs.Net Exclusive Brethren Archives

 

The Peebs.Net Collection of Books, Documents, Photographs, Soundfiles, Video and general media dating back to early 19th century

Since the day Peebs.Net started operations, it has attempted to catalog and retain as much material as possible from media sources and from diligent searches of electronic libraries and archives. There have certainly been dramatic events in recent years, but it is perhaps less well-known that the 'Darbyite' Plymouth Brethren were just as controversial in the nineteenth century.


We believe it is important for anyone wishing to know the truth behind today's Exclusive Brethren to look back at whence they came. We hope that you will enjoy our collection and that it will help you understand how the Darby/Raven/Taylor/Symington/Hales Exclusive Brethren evolved and became the unmistakable cult that it is today.
