THE IRISH SAINT AND SCHOLAR
A biography of William Kelly
By Edwin Cross
Chapter Two. 181 pages. £19.95

Meet ‘the chief men among the Brethren’ and you enter a spiritual treat and a fascinating epoch in church history.

Many of them appear (passingly) in Cross’s book — J.N. Darby (of course), ‘beloved Mr. Bellett’, the ‘brother indeed’ Robert Chapman, the learned George Wigram, the biblically enraptured CHM, the (let us say) unusual Napoleon Noel, and many more — but his purpose is to give William Kelly the publicity his great intellectual gifts and spiritual/ecclesiastical importance deserve.
