Historical Dictionary of the Seventh-Day Adventists
Seventh-day Adventism was born as a radical millenarian sect in nineteenth-century America. It has since spread across the world, achieving far more success in Latin America, Africa, and Asia than in its native land. In what seems a paradox, Adventist expectation of Christ’s imminent return has led the denomination to develop extensive educational, publishing, and health systems. Increasingly established within a variety of societies, Adventism over time has modified its views on many issues and accommodated itself to the “delay” of the Second Advent. In the process, it has become a multicultural religion that nonetheless reflects the dominant influence of its American origins. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Seventh-Day Adventists covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 600 cross-referenced entries on key people, cinema, politics and government, sports, and critics of Ellen White. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Seventh-day Adventism.
The A to Z of the Seventh-Day Adventists
Covering the Millerite movement of the 1830s and 1840s, sabbatarian Adventism prior to organization of the denomination, and the Seventh-day Adventist Church since its organization in 1861-63, this volume provides a comprehensive history of the denomination. The first major element of the book is a chronology of Adventist history that begins with William Miller's conclusion in 1818 that the Second Advent of Jesus would occur about 1843 and extends through the Science and Theology Conferences of 2002-04. The interpretive introduction that follows places the emergence of Adventism within the context of the Second Great Awakening, describes the development of sabbatarian Adventism from its earl...
Sanctuary
In the pages of this book women have bared their souls. They have revealed how they try every day to follow the pattern that God has given for their lives. They share how God has shown His presence in their homes, their families, and their lives. Things have not always gone perfectly for these women, but each has found sanctuary in the arms and love of her mighty God, the God who is also her Savior.
Breathe
In a world demanding every ounce of who you are, do you ever feel as though you’re losing yourself? Scheduling. Expectations. Relationships. Responsibilities. Even church duties. It might seem that you are required to be superhuman just to keep up. And yet something inside you knows that just as your body can’t survive without oxygen, your spirit also needs room to breathe—a well-deserved, guilt-free time-out from life’s demands to refresh and reinspire your heart and mind. This year, listen to the voices of nearly 200 women from all over the world through this devotional as they speak truth into your life about matters of the heart, mind, soul, and strength. You were created to be a whole person, physically and spiritually. So take the time to let your spirit breathe in and breathe out the presence of God with daily inspiration from other women like you. Just breathe.
Renew
Throughout history and across cultures, women have borne the responsibility of nurturing their homes and communities. This vital work can leave us feeling drained, empty, with nothing left to give. But God has promised renewal of your strength, your spirit, and your life. A new day represents a new beginning, and with a new beginning comes freshness and vigor. Spend a few moments each day communing with God and the nearly 300 women from around the world who have experienced His renewal. Through Him and this vast group of sisters, may you be restored and revived as you find the strength to begin again until that day you are made perfect in holiness.
Theology and Tolkien
The works of J.R.R. Tolkien have not only redefined a genre of literature but also had a far-reaching impact on culture in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Tolkien’s name has joined the ranks of authors such as Shakespeare, Milton, Dostoevsky, Donne, and Dickens who make us think differently about the world. In Theology and Tolkien: Practical Theology, an international group of scholars consider what Tolkien’s works (and Jackson’s film interpretations) can teach us about living out our theology in the world. From essays on Tolkien’s insights into community, what we can learn about our spiritual senses from encounters with the Nazgûl, the pastoral wisdom of Treebeard, to the theological value of food—including second breakfasts—we invite you to journey with us through Middle-earth as we engage the applicability of Tolkien’s works for theology and our world.
