ABSTRACT THE ORIGIN, DEVELOPMENT, AND HISTORY OF THE NORWEGIAN SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH FROM THE 1840s TO 1887 by Bjorgvin Martin Hjelvik Snorrason Adviser: Jerry Moon ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: THE ORIGIN, DEVELOPMENT, AND HISTORY OF THE NORWEGIAN SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH FROM THE 1840s TO 1887 Name of researcher: Bjorgvin Martin Hjelvik Snorrason Name and degree of faculty adviser: Jerry Moon, Ph.D. Date completed: July 2010 This dissertation reconstructs chronologically the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Norway from the Haugian Pietist revival in the early 1800s to the establishment of the first Seventh-day Adventist Conference in Norway in 1887. The present study has been based as far as possible on primary sources such as protocols, letters, legal documents, and articles in journals, magazines, and newspapers from the nineteenth century. A contextual-comparative approach was employed to evaluate the objectivity of a given source. Secondary sources have also been consulted for interpretation and as corroborating evidence, especially when no primary sources were available. The study concludes that the Pietist revival ignited by the Norwegian Lutheran lay preacher, Hans Nielsen Hauge (1771-1824), represented the culmination of the sixteenth- century Reformation in Norway, and the forerunner of the Adventist movement in that country.

    Welhaven i 200 år Diktaren og universitetslæraren Johan Sebastian Welhaven blei født i Bergen 22. desember 1807. Universitetsbiblioteket markerer 200-årsjubileet med ei minneutstilling. © Universitetsbiblioteket i Bergen www.ub.uib.no Tekst: Jan Olav Gatland Formgjeve av Pedro Vásquez Besøk også vår nettutstilling for fleire opplysningar: www.ub.uib.no/avdeling/hf/welhaven Johan Sebastian Welhaven 1807-1873 1807 – 22. desember blir Johan Sebastian Cammermeyer Welhaven født i Bergen. Døypt i St. Jørgen Hospitalkyrkje i Marken der faren Johan Ernst Welhaven var prest for dei spedalske. Welhaven-slekta kom frå Tyskland medan mora, Else Cammermeyer, var danskætta. Dei budde i Domkirkegaten. 1817 – Byrjar på Bergen Katedralskole. Som norsklærar får han farens gamle venn, Lyder Sagen, som blir ein viktig inspirator. Elles får han stadig tilsnakk for overdriven munnbruk og manglande flid. 1825 – Welhaven tek ein god eksamen og reiser til Christiania for å studere ved Universitetet. Tek examen artium og les til førebuande prøver i to år. 1827 – Tek "andreeksamen" med beste karakter i filosofi, elles dårlege karakterar. Fleire eksamenar tek han ikkje. 1827 – Han reiser heim til Bergen og studerer teologi med faren. Han held fleire preiker i kyrkjene i byen, men er ikkje motivert for teologistudiet. Det er kunstnar han helst vil vere. Året etter døyr faren, og sonen gjev opp studiane. Heretter må han klare seg sjølv, og det vil han gjere i Christiania. Resten av livet er Welhaven knytt til Universitetetet, dei første åra som sentral person i Det Norske Studentersamfund. Her var han særleg aktiv i striden med Henrik Wergeland, hovudsakleg ein debatt om dikting og estetikk, den såkalla "Stumpefeiden" der Welhaven representerte "intelligenspartiet" og Wergeland "norskhetspartiet".
