Adventism Confronts Modernity

History & Biography

“This fine book offers a fascinating window into the Protestant battle for the Bible through tracing the Advent Christian Church's theological journey. Mayer's overview of the modernist/fundamentalist controversy and post-WWII Evangelicalism's influence upon the Advent tradition provides a unique window for understanding how views of Scripture's inspiration shape the church. A great introduction to the trajectory of twentieth-century Protestant theological diversity.”

The Pastor’s Library

Church Leadership & Ministry

“With the rising cost of books, it is important for pastors/students to identify the best books as additions to a personal theological library. Theological research, as well as weekly preaching, must access the necessary resources, and often it is a challenge to sort through the multitude of books on a topic. Students and pastors will both benefit from this well-organized annotated bibliography to help guide them in sorting through the best books as well as the newer ones for use in ministry and research. An impressive text in its breadth, highly recommended as a reference tool to have on the shelf.”
