Many of the founders of Seventh-day Adventism held positions that differ significantly from what the denomination requires today. How did that happen, and who authorised the changes?
The Redacted Archives works from publicly verifiable sources — pioneer publications, official denominational records, conference transcripts, and Ellen White's published writings and manuscripts — to follow those changes in order.
What will you examine?
- The original 1872 Fundamental Principles
- The changing understanding of the Godhead
- The Kellogg crisis and the 1919 Bible Conference
- Developments after Ellen White's death and changes in published materials
- The adoption of the 1980 Fundamental Beliefs
What kinds of sources does it use?
- Original pioneer publications
- Official denominational records
- Conference transcripts
- Ellen G. White's published writings and manuscripts
