Unknown and Well Known: a biography of John Nelson Darby

This book was first published in 1901; that edition was first checked by W. Kelly (1821-1906) one of Darby's closest friends. The facts in this book give us reliable information and insight into the life of one of the finest gifts Christ has bestowed upon His church in the past 200 years. This edition has been completely reworked and Turner's three biographies have been skilfully blended together to make one complete narrative. The editor has added footnotes and illustrations and appendices to enhance the book for modern readers.'Darby was a remarkable man and very definitely a special gift of God to the church. This book makes interesting reading,  it is a worthwhile acquisition.' Believers Magazine
