Seventh-day Adventists and the civil rights movement

Seventh-day Adventists and the Civil Rights Movement is an in-depth study of the denomination's participation in civil rights politics. It considers the extent to which the denomination's theology influenced how its members responded. This book explores why a brave few Adventists became social and political activists, and why a majority of the faithful eschewed the movement. —from publisher description
