(A. T. Jones was one of the most fascinating personalities...)
A. T. Jones was one of the most fascinating personalities ever to grace a Seventh-day Adventist pulpit. Adventists have always had a curiosity regarding the powerful Jones, who meteorically rose to denominational prominence in 1888 and sank almost as rapidly into oblivion in the early twentieth century. To examine Jone's life is to study a cross section of Adventist history during one of its most formative and controversial periods. Because Jones was at the center of action, his biography, of necessity, must deal with such issues ad the meaning of the 1888 General Conference session, the problem of 1893 and the delay of Christ's return, the nature of sanctification, the Adventist holiness movement, charismatic gifts, the role of Ellen White, the human nature of Christ, the Adventist crusade against a Christian America, church and state relationships, and the proper function of church organization. Those issues have been at the focal point of Adventist discussion for nearly a century. As a result, the biography of A. T. Jones is not merely a fascinating story, but is pregnant with contemporary meaning.

(Was Ellen White as inflexible as some of her followers? A...)
Was Ellen White as inflexible as some of her followers? Are the sacred and the secular two realms or one? How is ignorance related to godliness? Just how evil (or good) are human beings? Are big schools more effective than small ones? Was Ellen White really 100 years ahead of her time? George R. Knight examines these and many other provocative questions in this insightful book.

(Angry Saints is about the people and struggles that exist...)
Angry Saints is about the people and struggles that existed 100 years ago-and about how the lessons of the past apply to the present. Even though the specific characters and surface issues have changed, most of the problems, opportunities, dynamics, personality traits, and bedrock controversies portrayed in Angry Saints are remarkable contemporary. The book's four central crises provide perspectives that speak to Adventism a century later with as much force as they should have spoken to our spiritual forebears. Perhaps learning the lessons of Minneapolis even more important today than it was in 1888, since learning and applying that learning seems to be the key to our future. The book concludes on a positive note-the infinite possibilities of God's saving grace. Those possibilities, not fully grasped as yet, hold the promises of the future.
