Ep. 2 John Thomas: The Man, the Myth, the Founder of the Christadelphians
Today we're diving into the origin of the Christadelphians and taking a look at their founder/rediscover-er Doctor John Thomas! Let's count how many times he got baptized and see what lengths he went to in order to get away from the priest-ridden society of England. This story is probably a little different than the Christadelphian origin story you thought you knew...

Christadelphian Standards by H.P. Mansfield in 1961
Page 104 “Brother Mansfield’s remarks here were primarily with regard to the Pioneer works, although we acknowledge that there are other very good works available which have been written by other brethren. However, we would sound a note of caution. During the years since Brother Mansfield penned the above words, many works have been offered to us by an ever-increasing number of writers. Experience has shown us that many of these works are of doubtful value; others, paraded as Christadelphian literature, will prove quite dangerous to the unwary. Exercise care in this regard.”
