William H. Grotheer Collection Register of the William H. Grotheer Collection Collection 287 Center for Adventist Research James White Library Andrews University Berrien Springs, MI 49104-1440 August 2011 Processed by: Denis Kaiser William H. Grotheer Collection Collection 287 Scope and Content William H. Grotheer was born in Boone, Iowa, on October 14, 1920, as the son of Henry and Nora Bohner Grotheer. In 1942, he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Union College at Lincoln, Nebraska. He married Dorothea Miller. As a young man he worked as a pastor of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada and then in the United States serving at the First Toronto Seventh-day Adventist Church (1950) among others. By the mid-1960s he was the head of the Bible and History Department at Madison College. He then went to Andrews University where he completed a Master of Arts degree in 1966 graduating “cum laude.” Afterwards he requested a leave of absence in order to be free to write and speak. Soon after, he established Adventist Laymen’s Foundation, which also accepted tithe and offerings. The Foundation built a campus in Ozone, Arkansas, where monthly convocations, annual fellowships, and other meetings took place. Grotheer spoke at many meetings around the country. He also published the periodical, Watchman, What of the Night? from 1967 to 2006. On March 26, 1972, he was dropped from membership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He was well acquainted with Greek, and studied the writings of Ellen G. White, M. L. Andreasen, and other writers. He was active and well-known among Adventist independent ministries. He died on May 2, 2009. The collection contains the personal papers of William H. Grotheer and reflect his areas of interest and activity over the last thirty plus years of his life. There is correspondence, but likely only a portion of what he would have had representing all these years. It is unknown what happened to the rest of it. The papers on the Holy Flesh Movement are quite significant in themselves. The extant records of the Adventist Laymen’s Foundation are also included within the Grotheer Collection. They are in the “First Collection in Alphabetical Order” series located in box 6. Also included in the original body of materials received from the donor were what is now called the Claude E. Holmes Collection. Grotheer apparently received these significant materials from Holmes or someone who received them from Holmes. They are a large collection of letters between Holmes and many Adventist church leaders in the early years of the 20th century dealing with a variety of theological and doctrinal topics. Grotheer had not blend the Claude Holmes materials with his own papers but kept them as a separate collection. It seemed appropriate to separate Holmes and make it an independent collection. See its register also at the Andrews University Center for Adventist Research. Arrangement The arrangement of the collection is essentially as it was donated. It is categorized by 1. personal materials 2. writings 3. miscellaneous collections. The miscellaneous collections part consists of three separate collections: 1. Collection in Topical Order [Set 1] 2. First Collection in Alphabetical Order [Set 2] 3. Second Collection in Alphabetical Order [Set 3] Grotheer began creating the second alphabetical collection for some reason which is why it was kept in that arrangement. Researchers should look into all three sets when looking for a certain topic, individual, institution, etc. Further, lectures, sermons, and presentations may be found in two places: 1. Writings - Sermon and Presentation Notes 2. Miscellaneous Collections - Collection in Topical Order [Set 1] - Lectures Provenance The materials in this collection were donated to the Center by his daughter, Anne Grotheer-Shull, in October 2010. Use All users of this collection are required to completer the “Application to Use Unpublished Records,” and to observe the regulation specified in the “Patron Agreement” and “Researcher’s Code of Conduct.” All records in this collection are open and available for research.

Though it is God who changes people, the early Adventists employed specific spiritual practices to place themselves in His presence. Research revealed five main spiritual disciplines that shaped the Advent leaders and by extension the church. The first is Bible study: placing the Holy Scriptures as the foundation for all beliefs. The second is prayer: communication and communion with God.

  • PUC's AAA Reaccreditation Proposal
    PACIFIC UNION COLLEGE SELF-STUDY Prepared for: The Accrediting Association of Seventh-day Adventist Schools, Colleges, and Universities January 2012 An Introductory Message from the President elcome to Pacific Union College, the oldest Adventist institution of higher learning on the West Coast. W Founded in Healdsburg in 1882, PUC moved to Howell Mountain in 1909, in part on the advice of Ellen White, whose final home, Elmshaven, is nearby. We are happy to host the members of the Adventist Accrediting Asso- ciation to our campus early in 2012, as we move into our 130th year as a college. PUC is still committed to its original mission—residential, undergraduate, Seventh-day Adventist Christian education. As in the early years, our graduates are still learning to serve as health care workers, pastors, and educators, as well as business managers, graphic designers, social workers, journalists, computer scientists, aviators, and many professions the founders had never heard of. We are also teaching in ways those early professors could not have imagined, with digital projectors, electronic portfolios, and “turnitin.com.” Indeed, many things have changed in the past 130 years, but the important things remain: a commitment to educating the whole person, to integrity and service, and to the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are still “educating for eternity.” We want to thank you, our peers, for taking time to read our self-study and visit our campus, to meet us, and to encourage us as we strive to go “from good to great” in the service of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and our Creator God.

  • Origin and History of Seventh-Day Adventists, Vol. 1
    Origin and History of Seventh-day Adventists FRONTISPIECE PAINTING BY HARRY ANDERSON © 1949, BY REVIEW AND HERALD As the disciples watched their Master slowly disappear into heaven, they were solemnly reminded of His promise to come again, and of His commission to herald this good news to all the world. Origin and History of Seventh-day Adventists VOLUME ONE by Arthur Whitefield Spalding REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION WASHINGTON, D.C. COPYRIGHT © 1961 BY THE REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION WASHINGTON, D.C. OFFSET IN THE U.S.A. AUTHOR'S FOREWORD TO FIRST EDITION THIS history, frankly, is written for "believers." The reader is assumed to have not only an interest but a communion. A writer on the history of any cause or group should have suffi- cient objectivity to relate his subject to its environment with- out distortion; but if he is to give life to it, he must be a con- frere. The general public, standing afar off, may desire more detachment in its author; but if it gets this, it gets it at the expense of vision, warmth, and life. There can be, indeed, no absolute objectivity in an expository historian. The painter and interpreter of any great movement must be in sympathy with the spirit and aim of that movement; it must be his cause. What he loses in equipoise he gains in momentum, and bal- ance is more a matter of drive than of teetering. This history of Seventh-day Adventists is written by one who is an Adventist, who believes in the message and mission of Adventists, and who would have everyone to be an Advent- ist.

Moon ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: A HISTORICAL-CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF THE FINAL-GENERATION THEOLOGY OF M. L. ANDREASEN Name of researcher: Paul M. Evans Name and degree of faculty adviser: Jerry A. Moon, Ph.D. Date completed: July 2010 Topic This study analyzes the teaching of the early twentieth-century Seventh-day Adventist writer M. L. Andreasen regarding a final-generation perfection that vindicates God in the great controversy between good and evil, comparing Andreasen’s views with related concepts in the writings of previous Adventist writers. Purpose The study has the limited objective of attempting to trace possible antecedents for Andreasen’s final-generation theology in the writings of other Adventists, in order to determine the degree of uniqueness or variance in Andreasen’s views.
