Book Synopsis Seventh-day Adventists and the Civil Rights Movement by : Samuel G. London, Jr.
Download or read book Seventh-day Adventists and the Civil Rights Movement written by Samuel G. London, Jr. and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2010-02-17 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventh-day Adventists and the Civil Rights Movement is the first in-depth study of the denomination's participation in civil rights politics. It considers the extent to which the denomination's theology influenced how its members responded. This book explores why a brave few Adventists became social and political activists, and why a majority of the faithful eschewed the movement. Samuel G. London, Jr., provides a clear, yet critical understanding of the history and theology of the Seventh-day Adventist Church while highlighting the contributions of its members to political reform. Community awareness, the example of early Adventist pioneers, liberationist interpretations of the Bible, as well as various intellectual and theological justifications motivated the civil rights activities of some Adventists. For those who participated in the civil rights movement, these factors superseded the conservative ideology and theology that came to dominate the church after the passing of its founders. Covering the end of the 1800s through the 1970s, the book discusses how Christian fundamentalism, the curse of Ham, the philosophy of Booker T. Washington, pragmatism, the aversion to ecumenism and the Social Gospel, belief in the separation of church and state, and American individualism converged to impact Adventist sociopolitical thought.
Book Synopsis Ellen Harmon White by : Terrie Dopp Aamodt
Download or read book Ellen Harmon White written by Terrie Dopp Aamodt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-11 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In America, as in Britain, the Victorian era enjoyed a long life, stretching from the 1830s to the 1910s. It marked the transition from a pre-modern to a modern way of life. Ellen Harmon White's life (1827-1915) spanned those years and then some, but the last three months of a single year, 1844, served as the pivot for everything else. When the Lord failed to return on October 22, as she and other followers of William Miller had predicted, White did not lose heart. Fired by a vision she experienced, White played the principal role in transforming a remnant minority of Millerites into the sturdy sect that soon came to be known as the Seventh-day Adventists. She and a small group of fellow believers emphasized a Saturday Sabbath and an imminent Advent. Today that flourishing denomination posts eighteen million adherents globally and one of the largest education, hospital, publishing, and missionary outreach programs in the world. Over the course of her life White generated 70,000 manuscript pages and letters, and produced 40 books that have enjoyed extremely wide circulation. She ranks as one of the most gifted and influential religious leaders in American history and this volume tells her story in a new and remarkably informative way. Some of the contributors identify with the Adventist tradition, some with other Christian denominations, and some with no religious tradition at all. Their essays call for White to be seen as a significant figure in American religious history and for her to be understood within the context of her times.

Book Synopsis The Ordination of Women by : Jan Voerman
Download or read book The Ordination of Women written by Jan Voerman and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-04-09 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can you understand algebra if you have never learned basic addition? Can you write a book if you have never constructed a simple sentence? In order to understand complex things, we must go back to the beginning and learn the basics. The same principle can be applied to our understanding of biblical truths. When looking at the complex issue of women’s ordination, it is important to examine the beginning of God’s Word. Pastor Jan Voerman’s analysis of the Genesis account of Creation and the fall of Adam and Eve more than strengthens an unpopular argument for the restoration of the traditional roles of men and women in society. In addition to studying the Old and New Testaments in regards to this topic, Pastor Voerman also draws from the writings of the early church fathers and Ellen G. White. The Ordination of Women: The Priesthood of All Believers and Other Aspects presents a surprisingly refreshing outlook on a complex subject that encourages readers to return to their biblical roots as “people of the book.”

Book Synopsis James K. Humphrey and the Sabbath-Day Adventists by : R. Clifford Jones
Download or read book James K. Humphrey and the Sabbath-Day Adventists written by R. Clifford Jones and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2009-09-18 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In James K. Humphrey and the Sabbath-Day Adventists, R. Clifford Jones tells the story of this important black religious figure and his attempt to bring about self-determination for twentieth-century blacks in New York City. Humphrey was a Baptist minister who joined the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church shortly after arriving in New York City from Jamaica at the turn of the twentieth century. A leader of uncommon competency and charisma, Humphrey functioned as an SDA minister in Harlem during the time the community became the black capital of the United States. Though he led his congregation to a position of prominence within the SDA denomination, Humphrey came to believe the black experience in Adventism was one of disenfranchisement. When he refused to alter his plans for a utopian community for blacks in the face of dissent from SDA church leaders, Humphrey's ministerial credentials were revoked and his congregation was dissolved. Subsequently, Humphrey established an independent black religious organization, the United Sabbath-Day Adventists. This book rescues the Sabbath-Day Adventists from obscurity. Humphrey's break with the Seventh-day Adventists provides clues to the state of black-white relationships in the denomination at the time. It set the stage for the creation of the separate administrative structure for blacks established by the SDA church in 1945. This history of a minister and his church demonstrates the struggles of small, independent, black congregations in the urban community during the twentieth century.
Book Synopsis Ellen G. White Review and Herald Articles, Book III of IV by : Ellen Gould Harmon White

This book was released on 2013-10-24 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FOR NEARLY 150 years, the Review and Herald has been the official church paper of the Seventh-day Adventist people. A paper, The Present Truth, was first printed in August 1849. In 1851 the name was changed to Second Advent Review and Sabbath Herald. Over the decades the church paper has carried a number of names, and as of 2012 it is simply Adventist Review. Our “church paper”actually preceded, by fourteen years, the official organization of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1863.From its inception, throughout her life, the messenger of the Lord, Ellen G. White, used the Review and Herald as one of the main avenues of communicating God's counsels to His remnant people. During that sixty-six year span nearly 2,000 messages by God of direction, reproof, and inspiration were published in the Review and Herald. This present edition has all of her articles, published through 1915, unabridged in four volumes. Ellen G. White passed away Friday, July 16, 1915. Upon hearing of her death, Arthur W. Spalding penned the following lines that appeared in The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald of July 29, 1915. And Israel Mourned “Upon the sweet Sabbatic calm The evil tidings swept; And, hushing every joyful psalm, An orphaned people wept. Alas, that human lips must tell The somber message dread: “O Israel! O Israel! Thy godly seer is dead!” Long, long the tale of freighted years That marked the judge's seat, From Shiloh's mingled hopes and fears To Ramah's counsel sweet. The chorus of their graces swell The lamentation sore: “O Israel! O Israel! Thy prophet speaks no more!” What hand hath not that guidance felt, Or sore-pressed heart that touch, When wayward life its impulse dealt And sorrow overmuch? What tender memories compel That saddened, low refrain: “O Israel! O Israel! Thy messenger is slain!” But hush, thou Jacob, feeble, faint, Beset by traitor foe; Take thee a pean for thy plaint, A kingdom for thy blow. With seer and prophet all is well. Loud let the heavens ring: “O Israel! O Israel! Prepare to meet thy King!”In an editorial of the same Review and Herald issue, the editor, Francis M. Wilcox, stressed the point that though dead, the messenger of the Lord still speaks through her published works.“Set as a teacher in Israel, she was true to the trust imposed upon her. With unswerving fidelity she bore her testimony as the Spirit of God directed her utterance in reproof. in exhortation, in encouragement. As a special watchman upon Zion's walls. as the messenger of God, she never faltered in bearing the burden which this ministry imposed. How often during her long ministry has she stood in the breach to call Israel back to their allegiance to God! How often has she rebuked sin in high places in the church! She has not betrayed her trust, but has proved loyal to the position appointed her. . . .“Of the great influence exerted by her words, spoken and written, we need not speak. The judgment will reveal, we believe, a wonderful fruitage of the labors of this devout servant. Though dead. she still speaks. Her works follow her. They still live to bless the church. Her stirring appeals, her exhortations, her instructions in the divine life, are still left us. To these we can still seek for the help which personally she is powerless to give. . . .“We shall miss our beloved sister. but we trust that we shall treasure even more carefully the instruction that she has given us. If we shall do this, if we shall turn to the Lord with all our hearts, . . .
Download or read book Sacred Borders written by David Holland and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-02 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Why," an exasperated Jonathan Edwards asked, "can't we be contented with. . . the canon of Scripture?" Edwards posed this query to the religious enthusiasts of his own generation, but he could have just as appropriately put it to people across the full expanse of early American history. In the minds of her critics, Anne Hutchinson's heresies threatened to produce "a new Bible." Ethan Allen insisted that a revelation which spoke to every circumstance of life would require "a Bible of monstrous size." When the African-American prophetess Rebecca Jackson embarked on a spiritual journey toward Shakerism, she dreamt of a home in which she could find multiple books of scripture. Orestes Brownson explained to his skeptical contemporaries that the idea drawing him to Catholicism was the prospect of an "ever enlarging volume" of inspiration. Early Americans of every color and creed repeatedly confronted the boundaries of scripture. Some fought to open the canon. Some worked to keep it closed. Sacred Borders vividly depicts the boundaries of the biblical canon as a battleground on which a diverse group of early Americans contended over their differing versions of divine truth. Puritans, deists, evangelicals, liberals, Shakers, Mormons, Catholics, Seventh-day Adventists, and Transcendentalists defended widely varying positions on how to define the borders of scripture. Carefully exploring the history of these scriptural boundary wars, Holland offers an important new take on the religious cultures of early America. He presents a colorful cast of characters-including the likes of Franklin and Emerson along with more obscure figures--who confronted the intellectual tensions surrounding the canon question, such as that between cultural authority and democratic freedom, and between timeless truth and historical change. To reconstruct these sacred borders is to gain a new understanding of the mental world in which early Americans went about their lives and created their nation.
Book Synopsis Slavery and Utopia by : Fernando Santos-Granero
Download or read book Slavery and Utopia written by Fernando Santos-Granero and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2018-09-19 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first half of the twentieth century, a charismatic Peruvian Amazonian indigenous chief, José Carlos Amaringo Chico, played a key role in leading his people, the Ashaninka, through the chaos generated by the collapse of the rubber economy in 1910 and the subsequent pressures of colonists, missionaries, and government officials to assimilate them into the national society. Slavery and Utopia reconstructs the life and political trajectory of this leader whom the people called Tasorentsi, the name the Ashaninka give to the world-transforming gods and divine emissaries that come to this earth to aid the Ashaninka in times of crisis. Fernando Santos-Granero follows Tasorentsi’s transformations as he evolved from being a debt-peon and quasi-slave to being a slave raider; inspirer of an Ashaninka movement against white-mestizo rubber extractors and slave traffickers; paramount chief of a multiethnic, anti-colonial, and anti-slavery uprising; and enthusiastic preacher of an indigenized version of Seventh-Day Adventist doctrine, whose world-transforming message and personal influence extended well beyond Peru’s frontiers. Drawing on an immense body of original materials ranging from archival documents and oral histories to musical recordings and visual works, Santos-Granero presents an in-depth analysis of chief Tasorentsi’s political discourse and actions. He demonstrates that, despite Tasorentsi’s constant self-reinventions, the chief never forsook his millenarian beliefs, anti-slavery discourse, or efforts to liberate his people from white-mestizo oppression. Slavery and Utopia thus convincingly refutes those who claim that the Ashaninka proclivity to messianism is an anthropological invention.

Book Synopsis The Variety of American Evangelicalism by : Donald W. Dayton
Download or read book The Variety of American Evangelicalism written by Donald W. Dayton and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2020-02-23 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those labeled as "evangelicals" commonly are assumed to constitute a large and fairly homogeneous segment of American Protestantism. This volume suggests that, in fact, evangelicalism is better understood as a set of distinct subtraditions, each with its own history, organizations, and priorities. The differences among groups are so important that the question arises: Is the term "evangelical" useful at all?

Book Synopsis More Stories I Lived by : Kenneth P. Campbell
Download or read book More Stories I Lived written by Kenneth P. Campbell and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ken Campbell's first book of stories from his "growing up years" and early adult life—Stories I Lived–was so captivating that it left readers with an appetite for more. More Stories I Lived will surely satisfy the palate and grab the imagination through the author's vivid, folksy storytelling from a much simpler time—when survival meant hard work and boys had the time to ride out on horseback and explore the rural wilderness. Campbell writes with humor and purpose, as he tells the stories he lived and the hard-learned life lessons that survival gave him. From picking his first tomatoes to raising a willful pet sheep, from exploring a hidden cave to sledding uncontrolled down a steep hill, from enduring a home-style haircut to corralling a run-away horse. His stories will make you laugh, and they will even make you wince. Yet, don't worry—everything will come out all right in the end, and you'll come away having enjoyed the journey and learned something with the author as well. “More wonderful tales from a true treasure! Uncle Kenny takes us to a simpler time with smiles aplenty and great life lessons along the way.” – Eric Brown, Ministerial Director, Upper Columbia Conference
