Despite this, the Adventist church has remained largely invisible. Seeking a Sanctuary casts light on this marginal religion through its socio-historical context and discusses several Adventist figures that shaped the perception of this Christian sect.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A provocative and penetrating account of a complicated and remarkably little-known movement.</p>--Eileen Barker "Sociological Analysis"<br><br><p>The first edition of this book was one of the few must reads for academics interested in the Seventh-day Adventists. . . . The new edition expands several features of the first: it places more emphasis on regional variations, offshoot groups, and ethnic diversity. Bull (Oxford) and Lockhart (London-based journalist) situate Adventist history in the larger context of American history and, just as importantly, trace the evolution of Adventist doctrine. Recognizing that Adventists form their own subculture, they also provide sociological analysis. This book gives full attention to internal theological conflicts of recent decades. Finally, Seeking a Sanctuary is well written and comprehensive. Any library collecting material on American history or religion should have it. . . . Essential.</p>-- "Choice"<br><br><p>The most comprehensive review and insightful analysis in print of the sociology, history, and culture of the Seventh-Day Adventist church.</p>-- "Church History"<br><br><p>I recommend to clergy that they read Seeking a Sanctuary. . . . you will be more attuned to the sociological trends that drive Seventh-day Adventism.</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Malcolm Bull teaches at Oxford University.</p><p>Keith Lockhart is a London-based journalist</p>
