Classic Christadelphian books for your edification
Principles and Proverbs
By Islyp Collyer
Principles and Proverbs has been a favourite for many years. An often quoted book for its penetrating insights into human nature, its wisdom, advice and explanaton of biblical principles.
From the Preface of the 1966 edition published by The Christadelphian:
“The following chapters first appeared serially in The Christadelphian: PRINCIPLES in 1923–1924; and PROVERBS at intervals during 1934 to 1938. Some of the articles reflect the discussions of the time when they were written, but that does not affect their abiding worth. The writer effectively contributed to the thought of the community in a style of writing distinctively his own. He [Islip Collyer] died in 1953.”
