Among Seventh-day Adventists the doctrine of the Trinity is often taken for granted. But increasingly it is opposed by a small minority who have retreated to the anti-Trinitarian position of the pioneers. In response the authors, each a specialist in his field, trace the doctrine of the Trinity through Scripture, church history, and the writings of Ellen G. White.; ; The first section surveys the biblical foundations of the doctrine and addresses objections that have been raised. Other sections trace the development of the doctrine in Christian history, in Adventist history, and in the writings of Ellen White. The authors explain why the doctrine was resisted by many of the leading pioneers....
Jesus was both devine and human. But the nature of Christ's humanity is perhaps the most explosive and divisive issue in Seventh-day Adventism. Was His humanity like that of Adam before the Fall, or like that of a fallen human being?It is not just an intellectual question, as one's shape one's understanding of salvation and the daily life of the Christian before Christ's return. Both view-points appeal to the writings of ellen White to support their position. How do we interpret what she has to say on the subject? As he did in his Ellen White On Salvation, Woodrow whidden analyzes Ellen White's comments ftom a chronological perspective. He has gathered all the statements she made on the subj...

Whidden II addresses common questions and misunderstandings as he explores the Seventh-day Adventist doctrines of grace, law, salvation, judgment, and final events. His findings reveal biblical teachings that will inspire a deep, refreshing sense of the assurance of salvation as he explores such issues as: How can believers know with certainty that they are saved? Does the Bible teach a cosmic, pre-Advent investigative judgment based on works? Who will survive the latter rain, the close of probation, and the time of trouble? What do believers do with failure, backsliding, and the fear of judgment? Are Ellen G. White's writings a help or a stumbling block when understanding salvation? This powerful and comprehensive book will help believers become assured and balanced Christians, able to understand and explain the biblical teachings on judgment and assurance.
This is a completely new typeset of the monumental 1957 classic, containing an extensive historical and theological introduction and detailed in-text notations by George R. Knight. Originally produced by the Ministerial Association of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Questions on Doctrine was widely acclaimed and distributed in the late 1950s and early 1960s as a forthright answer to questions from evangelicals about key elements of Adventist doctrine. Controversy regarding the book's position on the nature of Christ and the atonement soon stopped its circulation. As part of the Adventist Classic Library, Knight's essays provide the background for how the book came about and describes the interaction of the principal players involved in the crisis that shelved this classic work for more than a generation.
Dr. George R. Knight is a man on a mission. He wants people to know by experience the riches of God's grace in Christ. It's to this end that Knight, a historian, has taught and written. Much of Knight's writing has been on controversial subjects, such as the Shut Door, the 1888 General Conference, and the 1901 reorganization of the church. In this book, you'll also find what he has to say about understanding and applying Ellen White's writings about last-generation perfectionism, about substitution and sacrifice as more than mere metaphors, and about Ellen White's counsels on lifestyle as based on principle rather than rigid literalism. Knight's writing is spicy at times-he has, for instance, a book named Myths in Adventism, a chapter in another book called "The Bible's Most Disgusting Teaching," and an article titled "Adolf Hitler and Ellen White Agree on the Purposes of Adventist Education." But Knight doesn't write merely to shock us. He shouts in print so we can hear above the noise of the world today what the past can teach us. Book jacket.
This first edition addresses the following concerns: Christian revelations and credibility; relations with other Christian communities; the response of faith; and the relationship of Christian revelation to history, philosophy, the sciences, culture, and language.
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 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 ...

Every day people are punished for breaking the law, but how often are they scolded for obeying it? The Galatians were. That's why Paul's letter to the church at Galatia has perplexed Bible scholars for decades. Is Paul, who upholds the law in other epistles, now declaring it futile? What does he really believe the relationship between obedience to the law and righteousness by faith is? Carl P. Cosaert confronts these questions head-on by thoroughly exploring Paul's themes the centrality of faith in Christ, the role of the law in salvation and in the Christian life, the significance of the new covenant, the nature of true Christian freedom, how to walk in the Spirit, and why Christians should glory in the cross of Christ.
