We believe that the Oxford Handbook of Seventh-day Adventists (Oxford University Press, 2024) deserves an honorable mention. This is the first reference work to be published by an elite university press and for this reason alone (but there are also many others) it significantly advances Adventist Studies. The work is skillfully edited by Michael W. Campbell, Christie Chui-Shan Chow, David F. Holland, Denis Kaiser, and Nicholas P. Miller, and the chapters are clear, concise, and attractive to a broad audience. Most chapters provide a masterful survey of the field and several offer cutting-edge perspectives on familiar subjects. For many reasons, this work is worthy of high commendation.
