註釋Dr. George R. Knight is a man on a mission. He wants people to know by experience the riches of God's grace in Christ. It's to this end that Knight, a historian, has taught and written. Much of Knight's writing has been on controversial subjects, such as the Shut Door, the 1888 General Conference, and the 1901 reorganization of the church. In this book, you'll also find what he has to say about understanding and applying Ellen White's writings about last-generation perfectionism, about substitution and sacrifice as more than mere metaphors, and about Ellen White's counsels on lifestyle as based on principle rather than rigid literalism. Knight's writing is spicy at times-he has, for instance, a book named Myths in Adventism, a chapter in another book called "The Bible's Most Disgusting Teaching," and an article titled "Adolf Hitler and Ellen White Agree on the Purposes of Adventist Education." But Knight doesn't write merely to shock us. He shouts in print so we can hear above the noise of the world today what the past can teach us. Book jacket.
