A Brief History of Seventh-day Adventists George R. Knight Paperback Book From the denomination's founding to the present, the author takes you step by step through the development of the Church. At the focal point is the missionary emphasis that literally propelled Adventism into every corner of the earth.

  The Trinity, by Whiden, Moon, and Reeves gives not only Biblical basis for belief in the Trinity, but also outlines the background of our church pioneers including Ellen White and shows the history as they progressed in knowledge and thought about the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.   The book ends showing how an understanding of the Trinity affects one's views about Salvation and the Great Controversy.  This book is found in the doctrinal section.

Among Seventh-day Adventists the Doctrine of the Trinity. . .

 is often taken for granted. But increasingly it is opposed by a small minority who have retreated to the anti-Trinitarian position of the pioneers. In response the authors, each a specialist in his field, trace the doctrine of the Trinity through Scripture, church history, and the writings of Ellen G. White.

The first section surveys the biblical foundations of the doctrine and addresses objections that have been raised. Other sections trace the development of the doctrine in Christian history, in Adventist history, and in the writings of Ellen White. The authors explain why the doctrine was resisted by many of the leading pioneers.

The final section asks "So what?" It discusses the theological and practical implications of Trinitarian belief, worship, and practice, showing how it affects what we believe about salvation, atonement, the great controversy, and other significant doctrines. With glossaries, bibliography, and index, this comprehensive primer on the Trinity will shed new light on the central beliefs of Christianity, and show how God still leads His church into all truth
