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 early
opposition to church organization to its highly institutionalized
and bureaucratically structured contemporary form, and examines the
denomination's geographical expansion from a small North American
sect to a global church. The dictionary entries that constitute the
bulk of the volume address individuals, organizations,
institutions, and doctrines that have been important in the history
of the church, including dissident movements and individuals who
have emerged as critics of the denomination and its beliefs.
Second, there are entries on the development and current situation
of Adventism in many individual countries. Finally, thematic
entries on such subjects as art, music, literature, health care,
and women address other elements important to understanding church
life. The dictionary entries are followed by a bibliography of
scholarly and popular works published by the denomination,
commercial and academic presses, and individuals and organizations.
