Jezreel's Tower
Gillingham, England
Description of the Jezreelite Collection
These are materials published by the Jezreelite community of Kent, England, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This movement, also known as the "New and Latter House of Israel," inspired Benjamin and Mary Purnell to later establish the Israelite House of David community in Benton Harbor, Michigan.
Our printed collection of Jezreelite community materials can be researched through our online catalog.
Materials presented here are primarily from the archives of Mary's City of David, now housed at Hamilton College.
Thank you to the Israelite House of David for the loan of issues of Free Press of the New Eve for digitization.
