A must read for any academic Adventist

Seeking a Sanctuary is an unbiased look at Seventh-Day Adventist society, covering everything from Desmond Ford to Desmond Doss (and even Rook).

Must Read -

This book is excellent for all Seventh-day Adventists who would like to "see themselves as others see them." It contains some valuable insights from an "outsiders" perspective on the Seventh-day Adventist subculture.

The authors do seem to occasionally miss the mark due to a lack of understanding of the belief system; and therefore, in some areas draw somewhat erroneous conclusions based on the misunderstanding, and thus perhaps a faulty working premise.

However, if you have ever looked at your fellow Adventist or at the church hierarchy and structure and wondered "why is it that way?" or "why do they act that way?" or "how on earth did they reach that conclusion?" This book may have answers to some church behavior that have always puzzled you.

One of the most successful of America's indigenous religious groups, the Adventist church has remained largely invisible. The completely revised second edition of "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. Malcolm Bull is a Fellow of St. Edmund Hall, Oxford. His publications on apocalypticism include "Seeing Things Hidden" and (editor) "Apocalypse Theory", contributions to numerous academic journals, and reviews in the "Times Literary Supplement" and "London Review of Books". Keith Lockhart is a London-based journalist who has worked for "The Observer", "The Independent", and the Press Association. He was a one-time teacher at a Seventh-day Adventist college and several of his former students were involved in the Waco siege.
