BIBLE DIGEST - Number49A                                                              January 1995

THE DEVELOPMENT OF BIBLICAL UNITARIANISM

In Europe, England and America

by Allon Maxwell

BIBLIOGRAPHY

This supplement to Bible Digest Number 49 lists the various sources in which I found the condensed history contained in that paper. Much of it is now out of print and probably hard to locate, especially the sources mentioned for the history of the Disciples of Christ. In particular, I express my thanks to Don Prout, who kindly lent me most of those references which deal specifically with the history of the Disciples, from his own personal collection.

Update November 2001

A supplementary list has been appended which includes new sources found since the original paper was written in 1994.

Footnote

1. The two books by Ruth McHaffie contain a devastating exposure of a very large number of serious inaccuracies in Alan Eyre's two books. Ruth's conclusions indicate the need for great care about using Alan's works as source material for serious history study.
