I’m just finishing The Coming Deliverer: Millennial Themes in World Religions. It has a relatively lengthy treatment of John Nelson Darby, dispensationalism, and the Brethren groups associated with him.

It didn’t specifically talk about The Gospel Hall group, but it did discuss both the Open and Exclusive Brethren groups.

You’ve piqued my interest in the group.
