Seventh-day Adventist Church

Leading Seventh-day Adventist historian, author, and educator, George R. Knight, born in 1941, is a retired professor of church history at the theological seminary at Andrews University. His books include the Adventist Heritage series, the Ellen White series, and a devotional Bible commentary series. Just last year, in 2014, he was considered to be the “best-selling and [most] influential voice,” ever since Ellen White, for the past three decades within the denomination. Throughout this book, Knight traces the theological journey of the Seventh-day Adventist church and how the denomination moved from its earlier understandings to its present doctrinal positions. Knight begins by briefly explaining how Adventism was shaped through theological…

Growing up in the Seventh-day Adventist church, I experienced first-hand our denomination’s tendency to separate itself from society at large. This reality takes on a physical meaning in the form of the Adventist school system as well as becoming a more abstract phenomenon in regards to the Church’s fundamental leaning on issues such as Sabbath keeping and consumption of meat. In the introduction and part one of their book Seeking a Sanctuary: Seventh-day Adventist and the American Dream,…

abuzz. The Seventh-day Adventist church become uniquely aware—possibly more than at any time in recent years—of the need to more fully understand the involvement of Seventh-day Adventist in the political arena. On a more personal note, I ran for council in the City of Niles in 2011, winning the seat and subsequently am currently running for mayor in 2016. Although I am not going to include many anecdotes about this in the report itself, I have included a brief discussion of this part of my life…

I am a Seventh-day Adventist Christian. Though a woman founded the denomination, Seventh-day Adventism has struggled to come to terms with how women should fill leadership roles. This past summer, church officials and delegates voted against allowing women to be ordained as ministers. As a female biblical studies student and Seventh-day Adventist, I am highly unusual. During my undergraduate years, a number of professors in my major department felt that I should not be studying with my male…

hectic because of how I grew up, my family 's values, and how I felt about all of it. It lead to a regretful decision. Before talking about myself, my parents are both Seventh-Day Adventists. I grew up in the church. All my life, even now, I would go to church every Saturday. I would wake up at 7 am which is/was too early that I would have time to fall back to sleep. Then from 9:30am to 10:30am I would have Sabbath school and afterwards would be the main church service until 12pm.…

father went to America for work so he could later move his family there with him. Education has always been a big part of my family for many generations. It started with Suzie’s grandmother (my great great grandmother). Suzie’s grandmother walked Suzie and her brother to school every day and carried them across the big river. When Suzie’s grandmother died she could no longer attend school because she couldn 't get across the river by herself. After a few years had passed Suzie’s dad finally got…

As Buettner points out, there is no actual diet for longevity. However, he had this to say about the diets of people in the Blue Zones: Instead, these people drink a little bit every day, not a hard sell to the American people. They tend to eat a plant based diet. Doesn’t mean they don’t eat met, but lots of beans and nuts. And they have strategies to keep from overeating, little things that nudge them away from the table at the right time. (Buettner par. 34) Eating a plant based diet is…

as, the Branch Davidian and the Peoples Temple used religion as their main point to carry on their plan. The Branch Davidian was one of several groups that carried on the work of Victor Houteff, a Bulgarian man who settled in the United States and called for reform of the SDA church (Branch Davidian). Even though the Adventist leaders rejected Victor’s reform suggestion, he and his followers settled in Waco, Texas and prepared for what they believed was the return of Jesus (Branch Davidian).…
