ATSS PRESENTS: “Dialogical Adventism: Give Me That Old-Time Religion”
Bill Knott | 03 December 2022
If you know anything about the history of Adventism, then you know that this movement was conceived in discussion, and it was birthed in dialogue. It was breast-fed on argument, and it grew up in a debating hall. It’s not for nothing that the signature book of this movement for more than a century has been a volume called The Great Controversy.
Dialogue—hearty, thoughtful, impassioned, respectful dialogue—has been one of the distinguishing marks of the Seventh-day Adventist Church since before there was a Seventh-day Adventist Church. This is historic Adventism.
