Adventism--What does it stand for? Where did it come from? Where it is heading? These and other questions form the backdrop for George R. Knight’s fast-reading but informative treatment of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. From the denomination’s founding to the present; A Brief History of Seventh-day Adventists takes its readers step-by-step through the development of the church.

It provides an excellent starting place for the study of Seventh-day Adventism.
