| Summary: | This book, intended for the lay reader, brings together the various strands of the Reformation experience from a variety of countries and times. The rise of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is discussed against this background. This book features stories of persecution and martyrdom under the 70-year Communist tyranny and under the Fascist totalitarian regimes of the 1930's and 1940's. Here you'll find the saga of the Adventist woman who translated the Bible into her native Albanian and during 50 years of Stalinist dictatorship saved her tithe in the belief that one day she would meet an Adventist pastor. And you'll also find a report of the crisis of conscience within the German Adventist Church brought about by the demands of the Third Reich. |
