Having come under the spell of John Nelson Darby in my youth, it has been a curious experience to have been confronted by the man in print once more.
Darby was obviously a man of towering intellect with great powers of persuasion. His influence on the worldwide evangelical scene in the 19th century was enormous, and he is presented in this brief biography as ‘a tireless traveller, talented linguist and Bible translator’.
