Adventism in America
Overview
Written by Adventist scholars who felt a need to better establish and understand their denominational identity and the foundation of their theological beliefs, this book offers a comprehensive, non apologetic history of the denomination—accurate in scholarship, comprehensive in scope, and objective in tone. It synthesizes present knowledge of the history of the Adventist church in America, and lays the basis for further investigation.
Top Highlights
“Few speakers have the power to hold an audience as Miller did: eager listeners hung on his words, spellbound for two hours at a time, and packed houses were the rule.” (Page 6)
“Adventism was obviously theologically fragmented; only time would tell how significant that fragmentation would become.” (Page 185)
“Finally, one Saturday morning, the impression came to him more urgently than ever before: ‘Go and tell it to the world.’ The impression was so real that he promised God that he would tell the world if someone asked him to preach.” (Page 4)
“Ford reinterpreted the significance of 1844 ‘as marking the time when God, in heaven and on earth, raised up a people to whom He entrusted His last, everlasting gospel of righteousness by faith in Christ, for the world.” (Page 184)
“the victorious life is not the same as righteousness by faith, but is, in fact, an unbiblical concept” (Page 134)
