This biography by historian George Knight makes use of previously unavailable sources, letters, and logbooks to shed new light on the first theologian and real founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. George R. Knight, Ph.D., is a professor of church history at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary and author of many books, including Angry Saints, Anticipating the Advent, The Pharisee's Guide to Perfect Holiness, From 188 to Apostasy, A User-friendly Guide to the 1888 Message, Millennial Fever, and the four volumes that comprise his Ellen White series, Meeting Ellen White, Reading Ellen White, Ellen White's World, and Walking With Ellen White. He is also the general editor of the Abundant Life Bible Amplifier commentary series and the author of the Adventist Heritage Series (A Brief History of Seventh-day Adventists, A Search for Identity: The Development of Seventh-day Adventist Beliefs, and Organizing to Beat the Devil: The Development of Adventist Church Structure.) Although his first love is Adventist church history, he also enjoys writing books on topics and has written two daily devotionals: Walking With Jesus on the Mount of Blessing and Walking With Paul Through Romans.
