This week we were delighted to welcome students from Bogenhofen Seminary to the Center for Adventist Research. The group was brought by Thomas Eißner, and Kevin Burton, Director of the Center, led the tour.
We are grateful for the opportunity to share Adventist history and resources with these students!
The Center for Adventist Research has the Roger Coon Collection (286).
Roger Coon (1928–2011) was an Adventist minister, educator, author, missionary, and scholar. He earned degrees from La Sierra University, Andrews University, and Michigan State University, completing a Ph.D. in Speech, Rhetoric, and Public Address in 1969. After entering ministry in 1948 and being ordained in 1952, Coon served in various church and academic roles. He spent much of his career teaching, especially as an adjunct professor of Prophetic Guidance at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University. As an associate secretary of the Ellen G. White Estate, he lectured widely on Ellen White’s life and ministry and defended her prophetic role in the Adventist Church.
The Roger Coon Collection spans from the 1940s to the 2000s and includes a wide array of personal documents and both personal and official correspondences. It features a rich assortment of sermons—evangelistic, revival, and Bible study series—delivered by Coon over the years on a variety of topics. The collection also contains theological research on a broad range of subjects, including doctrine, church history, health, morality, and lifestyle.
