An exhaustive and authoritative investigation into the Christadelphians with links from their own sources as well as insights from former members.  Complete examination of their history, organisation, theology, practices, and the challenges they face.

Former Christadelphian Sites

Branson Hopkins, a former Christadelphian has authored three easily readable books.  “Unmasking Christadelphianism — The Hopelessness of the Hope” looks at some of the history of the movement and its theological difficulties.  “From Christadelphianism to Christ” is an account of his personal journey.  The final book, “The Rise of the Cults,” looks in depth at the cultural background of the emergence of the movement and how the period resulted in the start of many other new religious groups.  It also details how the various leaders of these movements were influenced and connected to each other.

His site is fairly limited, although it has a good genealogical diagram of connected denominations with shared origins to the Christadelphians.

His books are well worth reading and are published by Jubilee Resources.

There is a rebuttal to the first book which I have linked to so people can do their own assessments. [archived in the Wayback Machine]

UPDATE!! New site with Biblical references on the topic of the Holy Spirit and demons, Branson Hopkins Christianity. [archived in the Wayback Machine]

This is probably one of the best sites dealing with Biblical exegesis of Christadelphian doctrine.  Described as “opening minds to Jesus Christ” this author produces some excellent and very well researched material on his blog, particularly on the topic of the devil.  Clearly many of the New Testament authors in particular did believe in a literal supernatural being and demons and to take on the Christadelphian position makes understanding lots of passages extremely complex.  Unlike other Christians who do not believe in the devil or demons Christadelphians do not believe it is simply a case of demythologising the text, but believe the New Testament writers themselves conceived of Satan as merely a symbol of evil and not as a personal being.

He also has a website here which contains a lot more additional material.

Unbelievable

Rob Hyndman was a prominent Australian Christadelphian.  He is a professor in statistics, wrote blogs and books for the community, some of which advocated the community in many publications are still in use.

He wrote the book, Unbelievable, to explain the reasons that led him to question—and ultimately reject—his former beliefs.
