Bruder Knupfer hat durch viele Übersetzungsarbeiten sehr viel an der Schaffung einer christadelphischen Literatur in Deutsch mitgewirkt und viele Jahre lang die Herausgabe einer Monatsschrift zur Verkündigung des biblischen Evangeliums geleitet. Bruder Dr. von Gerdtell war ursprünglich bei der Baptistengemeinde. Sein Studium der Bibel führte ihn jedoch zu Wahrheitserkenntnissen, die dem ursprünglichen Evangelium, wie es die Christadelphians vertreten, entsprechen. Als er diese Erkenntnisse der Baptistengemeinde vortrug, war der Bruch mit ihr unvermeidbar geworden. Er dachte zunächst, mit seiner Erkenntnis in Deutschland allein zu stehen. Er selbst berichtet darüber folgendes: „Ein in London lebender englischer Freund von mir, dem ich mein Neuverständnis des apostolischen Evangeliums im Jahre 1912 mündlich auseinandergesetzt hatte, sagte mir damals, dass ich mit meinen vermeintlich völlig einsam stehenden Überzeugungen keineswegs so allein dastünde, wie ich damals glaubte, sondern dass es in Birmingham, London und an vielen anderen Orten Englands, Amerikas, Afrikas und Australiens Kreise gäbe, welche meine Auffassung des Urchristentums teilten. Unter anderen wurde mir damals auch der Name von Herrn Professor Turner als einer Persönlichkeit genannt, die auf demselben Glaubensstandpunkte wie ich stünde. Diese kurze Mitteilung führte nach Beendigung des Weltkrieges erst zu einer Korrespondenz zwischen Herrn Professor Turner und mir und schließlich zu meiner zweimaligen Einladung nach Birmingham, der ich beide Male Folge gab.”
