New Book: “Oysters, Hogs, and the Adventist Story” by George R. Knight
Oysters, Hogs, and the Adventist Story highlights books that George Knight started but never finished. Probing historical studies on lifestyle, education, publishing, mission, and apocalyptic are interspersed with provocative essays to feed both thought and discussion.
Here are a few questions to get started:
Did early Adventists really enjoy eating hogs and oysters?
How did the church come to deny its historic position on military service?
If early Adventists were truly antimission and antieducation, how did they transition to premier players in both fields?
Why is it so difficult to reform the church?
Where is the glue that holds together the apocalyptic books of Daniel and Revelation?

New Book Release: “Voices of Faith and Vision: Adventist Missionaries Who Made History”
What happens when faith demands everything? From the Ottoman Empire to Nazi prisons, from remote jungle hospitals to labor camps, this powerful volume tells the true stories of Adventist missionaries who faced persecution, sacrifice, and impossible choices. These are not comfortable stories of faith – but courageous moments when conviction outweighed fear.
Edited by Dragoslava Santrac and D. J. B. Trim, this book invites readers to step into the dramatic crossroads where faith becomes costly and obedience changes history.

This week, Pastor Walter Rogers and his son visited the Center for Adventist Research to explore materials from our collections for an upcoming podcast. During their visit, they interviewed Dr. Gary Burdick about the relationship between faith and science.
They also examined several fascinating historical sources, including an Isaac Newton manuscript on Christ’s Second Coming and two of Newton’s books on biblical prophecy: “Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St. John” (1733) and “The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms” (1728).
Pastor Rogers, based in Canada, travels across North America speaking on the evidence for God and the intersection of science and faith.
It is always a pleasure to see researchers and guests engaging with the unique historical treasures preserved at CAR.
