MOVEMENT of DESTINY / Fy MOVEMENT OF DESTINY / fy- ,40) Gt) Ir ' a IEW AND HERALD PUB. ASSN. Adventism in Complete Conspectus Mediating Before Judgment Bar of God.—Of all the sublime themes portrayed by Adventist Artist Harry Anderson, none is more lofty and meaningful than the frontispiece appearing op- posite this page. It depicts Christ—our ineffable Mediator-Priest— pleading our cases before the Judgment Seat of God. And this in the innermost sanctum of the sacred Command Center of all re- demptive activity, positioned in the heavenly Sanctuary above. Applies Benefits of His Atonement.—The Atoning Act of the Cross having been completed on Calvary—where Christ offered Himself as the "Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world"—He now ministers the benefits of that unutterably sacred transaction. Time and Circumstance Established.—Christ stands with nail- scarred hands before the Mercy Seat, overspreading the transcend- ent law of God. Covering cherubim gaze with ceaseless wonder at the infinite love graven forever in those sin-wrought scars. Christ's very position and solemn activity identify the time and circum- stance—today, in God's great Judgment Hour. Embraces Complete System of Truth.—But there is vastly more. That last judgment scene depicts the central, all-embracing truth of Adventism. Within it is compassed a complete system of truth— every phase of Present Truth. It forms the very foundation of our faith, the center and circumference of every saving principle and provision. Righteousness by Faith at Its Highest.—Here Righteousness by Faith centers in and emanates from Christ as "all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." Here the outreach of believing faith, as a sweet-smelling savor, rises from earth below to the throne of God in heaven above. This represents the faith of those who trust in the full salvation provided by Jesus Christ—Saviour, Ex- ample, Teacher, Prophet, Sacrifice, Priest, Judge, and coming King. That is Righteousness by Faith at its highest, broadest, and holiest. That is the goal and substance of all faith. Everlasting Gospel in Final Action.—That is the Everlasting Gospel in its final threefold-message setting and consummating action—in this awesome hour of God's Judgment, now in solemn, final session. That is Adventism in essence and total conspectus. That is the constraining theme of this volume. MOVEMENT OF DESTINY LE ROY EDWIN FROOM Emeritus Professor of Historical Theology, Andrews University Author of Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers Conditionalist Faith of Our Fathers Coming of the Comforter REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20012 lc COPYRIGHT © 1971 BY THE REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION WASHINGTON, D.C. Second Printing 1971 PRINTED IN U.S.A. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CATALOG CARD NO. 70-136291 Dedication To Esther Birch Fenton Froom, Companion of My Heart for Fifty-three Years, Helper of My Pen, and Constructive Critic of All Save the Closing Chapters of This Book in Manuscript— and Devout Believer in the Principles, Precepts, and Provisions Herein Traced—This Volume Is Affectionately Dedicated ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To the Helpers of My Pen While the writer did the researching, the finding, and the assembling of the sources—and then the writing—few books have ever had so many invaluable helping hands all the way through the project. It has really been a group endeavor. Initiated and commissioned by former General Conference President A. G. Daniells back in 1930, as the search went on it was approved by five General Conference presidents in succession, and many consultants. Its realization was made possible by the contribution of hundreds of price- less source documents from individual and institutional donors, archivists, librar- ians, and collectors, as well as by the affidavits of actual participants in the 1888 Minneapolis Conference, and rare documents from descendants of pioneers. When finally in manuscript form, it was read critically by some sixty of our ablest scholars--specialists in denominational history and Adventist theology. By experts in the Spirit of Prophecy. By key Bible teachers, editors, mass communications men, scientists, physicians. And by veteran leaders with vivid memories and extensive backgrounds. Next, magnificent constant help from special consultants concerning key chapters, sensitive sections, and problems—particularly Administrator Neal Wilson, Seminary Dean W. G. C. Murdoch, Ministerial Secretary R. A. Ander- son, Radio Veteran H. M. S. Richards, Sr., Denominational Researcher H. W. Lowe, Educator T. S. Geraty, White Publications Secretary A. L. White, Review Editor K. H. Wood—and a dozen other experts. And protected by verifiers and copy editors. Finally, the unstinted skills of Book Editor Merwin Thurber, whose constructive help was constant and invaluable. Meantime, there was a coun- seling committee of six of our headquarters leaders, without which this volume might never have seen the light of day, followed by the publishing house expertise in production. Then a greathearted Adventist physician (who remains anonymous) made possible—along with the dedicated royalty—the initial simultaneous presen- tation of 1,500 gift copies, on the day of publication, to 550 selected university, college, academy, and mission-land training school Bible teachers, along with twoscore overseas editors and fifty broadcasters around the globe—and certain other important key groups. This provision included 500 copies for the libraries of our 114 mission-land training schools, for use by our national students in training. Doubtless no volume in our history has ever had such magnificent pre- publication support. To each and all of these partners and participants, this goodly and godly company who have made the completed Movement of Destiny possible, I here inscribe my deep indebtedness.

  • Brownsberger, Sidney (1845–1930)
    Brownsberger, Sidney (1845–1930) MICHAEL CAMPBELL Michael Campbell Sidney Brownsberger was an Adventist educator and administrator. He played a significant role during the early development of Battle Creek College (Andrews University) and Healdsburg College (Pacific Union College). He was considered a “pioneer” in the development of Adventist education.1 Early Life, Marriage, and Family Sidney Brownsberger was the youngest of eight children born to John and Barbara Brownsberger. The family migrated westward from Pennsylvania to Ohio where Sidney was born September 20, 1845.2 He completed his early studies at Baldwin University in 1865 and then went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Michigan. While he was a student in Ann Arbor, he heard about Seventh- day Adventist beliefs from another young man who was not himself an Adventist. Brownsberger contacted the denomination and requested literature. When he received Adventist literature, he was challenged to study the Bible carefully.3 Without so much as a single Bible study, he started keeping the seventh-day Sabbath in 1868 during his junior year. Upon Sidney Brownsberger graduation he served as superintendent of schools in Photo courtesy of Center for Adventist Research. Maumee, Ohio and then Delta, Ohio.4 In 1873 church leaders invited Brownsberger to come church headquarters to lead the nascent Battle Creek College. It was hoped that with his educational background he could provide more “opportunity for the study of the languages, and other high branches.”5 During that first year (1873-1874) he served for one term as secretary of the General Conference.

  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.

Copyright, 1935, by the Review and Herald Publishing Association Revised, 1941 Foreword IN this abridged history of the Seventh-day Adventist de- nomination emphasis has been laid on the message in its various phases rather than on the men and women who so loyally proclaimed the timely messages. Brief character sketches have been given of some who were most closely associated with the beginnings of the advent movement, but in the main, biographies of men will have to be culled from other books. We gratefully acknowledge material help and direct informa- tion from the following books: "The Great Controversy," by Mrs. E. G. White ; "The Great Second Advent Movement," by J. N.

In the revised edition of 1941, we acknowledge further courtesies of assistance by LeRoy E. Froom and the Ellen G. White Publications office staff. Access to original sources, made available by the research work of these men, has led to minor changes in some of the stories of the beginnings of this movement.

  • A History of Seventh-Day Adventist Views on Biblical and Prophetic Inspiration (1844-2000)
    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 10/1-2 (1999): 486Ð542. Article copyright © 2000 by Alberto R. Timm. A History of Seventh-day Adventist Views on Biblical and Prophetic Inspiration (1844Ð2000) Alberto R. Timm Director, Brazilian Ellen G. White Research Center Brazil Adventist UniversityÐCampus 2 Introduction Seventh-day Adventists form a modern eschatological movement born out of the study of the Holy Scriptures, with the specific mission of proclaiming the Word of God Òto every nation and tribe and tongue and peopleÓ (Rev 14:6, RSV). In many places around the world Seventh-day Adventists have actually been known as the Òpeople of the Book.Ó As a people Adventists have always heldÑand presently holdÑhigh respect for the authority of the Bible. However, at times in the denominationÕs history different views on the nature of the Bi- bleÕs inspiration have been discussed within its ranks. The present study provides a general chronological overview of those major trends and challenges that have impacted on the development of the Seventh-day Adventist understanding of inspiration between 1844 and 2000. An Òannotated bibliographyÓ type of approach is followed to provide an overall idea of the subject and to facilitate further investigations of a more thematic nature. The Adventist understanding of inspiration as related to both the Bible and the writings of Ellen White is considered for two evident reasons: (1) While their basic function differs, Adventists have generally assumed that both sets of writings were produced by the same modus operandi of inspiration, and (2) there is an organic overlapping of the views on each in the development of an understanding of the BibleÕs inspiration.
