“Trust and Doubt: Perceptions of Divine Inspiration in Seventh-day Adventist History” by Denis Kaiser, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Church History.![]()
![]()
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God …” We believe these words, but what do they actually mean? Did God exercise a dominating influence over the inspired writers of Scripture, or did He provide them with assistance in communicating His inspired messages? In their struggle to arrive at a biblical understanding of God’s influence in the inspiration process, Seventh-day Adventists have advocated a variety of views since their very beginning. During a period of grave tensions on the subject of divine inspiration in American Protestant Christianity (1830s–1920s), Adventists experienced in their midst a living prophetic claimant whose very presence pressed them to ponder about the Holy Spirit’s modus operandi. This book traces the interplay of various theories of divine inspiration in the writings of eleven key thinkers in that period of Seventh-day Adventist history.![]()

Emily had heard a paper read on non-graded schools. Beginning in the early 1960's, while at the Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Elementary School, Emily, with the support of her supervisor, was able to pioneer the non-graded school concept, based in large measure on principles outlined by Ellen G. White in Education. According to the biography in this collection, “her success was phenomenal. Beginning with 27 students it [the school] increased in size to nearly 80 students 6 years later. To visitors the most talked about characteristic was the cooperative family spirit. The older students were helping the young and everyone was important in the scheme of the school.”![]()
