A new review of Separate Identity vol. 1

 I depend on royalties to fund research. Your reviews matter. Of course, I wish they were all five star reviews, but any review helps. 

Dr. Carlos Rodrigues left this review of Amazon-Brazil:

This is an extensive study of the history of Bible students led by Charles Taze Russell and others religious groups of the time, that had an influence on his beliefs and subsequent works, covering a period that goes up to the year 1879. The work impresses by the accuracy through hundreds of consulted references (including interviews and excerpts from newspapers of the time) for the generation of the information, with the same accuracy expected from an academic work. At the same time, brief biographies of Nelson H. Barbour, John H. Paton, George Stetson, George Storrs, William H. Conley, Henry Dunn, Joseph Seiss and others with their work are presented, shedding light on their influences, along with excerpts of their related writings. The circumstances and influences that led to the creation of the Watchtower magazine by Russell and his associates are also presented.The book belies the belief that Russell was an Adventist, having been a One Faith Millenarian with Age-to-Come concepts.
