In this episode, we keep talking about the thing we talked about in the last episode: the 1919 Bible Conference in the context of a crisis of Adventist identity.

In this episode, we finish our two-part discussion of how the world was changing in the early twentieth century. We looked at historical criticism last time, and this time we spend the bulk of our time on evolution.
In this episode, we talk about the massive cultural shift America goes through (along with the Western World) between the Civil War and the First World War. This cultural shift into modernism lays the groundwork for the Protestant Civil War between Liberals and Fundamentalists.

In this episode, we talk about two completely opposite experiences Adventists had in the First World War.
In this episode - the end of season 1 - we say "goodbye" to Ellen White and prepare to face an uncertain future. How will the Seventh-day Adventist church survive without its spiritual mother?
In this episode, we talk about the 1913 General Conference session, take a trip down memory lane, and A.G. Daniells' super-mega-cool Pacific Tour at the beginning of World War I. Then we conclude with Turkey. Not the food.
In this episode, we talk about William Warren Prescott and his efforts to be both a smart and loyal Seventh-day Adventist. We'll discuss the revision of Ellen White's The Great Controversy and, of course, the less great controversy over "the daily."
Sponsor: The Haystack!
In this episode, we talk about the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 and Ellen White's great passion for cities. Also, we have sponsorship by The Haystack! We might as well talk about those meal-by-mail kits, too. You'll see.
In this episode, we take a leisurely flight over the world of Seventh-day Adventism. The first decade of the 20th century was the turning point from early Adventism to modern Adventism, and the death of Uriah Smith symbolized this.
In this episode, we conclude the latest arc looking at Adventist race relations in the early 1900s. Good news for Lewis Sheafe fans out there... and bad news.
In this episode, we continue our story about Adventist racial policy in the early 1900s. Lewis Sheafe's First church and his People's church want to be heard... or else.
In this episode, we return to the color line and examine the General Conference's strategy for navigating the Jim Crow-era - particularly in how it impacted the founding of churches in Washington D.C.
In this episode, we finish up the sad saga of Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. Grab a tissue and hold on.
In this episode, we introduce ourselves to the great controversy (uhhh....pun) in the early 1900s: the Kellogg Affair. Come hear why Adventists don't own Corn Flakes.
In this episode, we take the scenic route to the historic 1901 General Conference. We begin in the ashes of the Battle Creek Sanitarium, then up to catch a bird's eye view of global mission, and then back in time to see the problems the church faced as it stumbled into the 20th century. You know, the usual.
In this episode, we follow A.T. Jones' rise to influence and authority in the 1890s, and discuss his missteps along the way.
In this episode, we actually get around to talking about Australia. Specifically, the Brighton camp meeting, the Women's Christian Temperance Union, and the founding of Avondale. Let's hear it for Weet-Bix.
In this episode, we talk about Ellen White's glowing opinion of the men of Samoa, Arthur G. Daniells' rise, and Willie White's second marriage. ...and there's probably something in here about Australia, too.
In this episode, we follow Edson White down the Mississippi River as he beings preaching to former slaves. We also (briefly) meet C.M. Kinny and Lewis C. Sheafe, two Black Adventist preachers on the rise.
In this episode, we talk about the beginning of Adventism's concerted effort to reach the southern United States after starting mission fields in Europe and Australia. It's about time, right?
In this episode, we talk a lot about water. We begin with Ellen White's experience in the middle of the worst natural disaster in American history (at that point). We end with shipwreck, mutiny, and baptism.
In this episode, we look at how Ellen White, E.J. Waggoner, and A.T. Jones (but mostly Ellen) campaigned in the aftermath of the 1888 General Conference.
In this episode, we see how the bitter feud of the past few years boils over at the General Conference session of 1888. It's nothing personal, Minneapolis.
In this episode, we stand on the doorstep of the Adventist Civil War. Following Ellen White back to America, we examine the characters, characteristics, and causes leading up to the debate of the 1888 General Conference session.
In this episode, we dive into the second major controversy of the 1880s: the dispute between church president George I. Butler and E.J. Waggoner over the nature of the law in Galatians. This controversy increasingly alarmed Ellen White, especially as D.M. Canright exited stage right.
In this episode, we meet the two young preachers whose teaching will lead to the Adventist Civil War of 1888: E.J. Waggoner and A.T. Jones. We cover the major external factor that leads to War (the threat of Sunday law) and one of the internal causes (the Jones-Smith feud over the ten horns of Daniel 7). Still with us?
In this episode, we follow a Ellen White on her epic, two year trip to meet the Adventists in Europe. Also, we talk a little about a preacher named D.M. Canright.
In this episode, we see how Ellen White handled James' death, how the church solved the problem of Battle Creek College, and how Loughborough fared in England.
In this episode, we talk about the death of James White and what it meant to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. We also mention the founding of two more Adventist schools, which would go on to become major universities, as well as the closing of Battle Creek College.
In this episode, we trace the continuing struggles of James White, Willie's opportunity to go to England, and the founding of the Adventist Church's oldest, continually operating hospital.
In this episode, we wrap up some loose strings from the 1870s: the death of Joseph Bates, the leadership philosophy of G.I. Butler, and the first missionaries the Adventist Church sent to Europe.
In this episode, we take a step back and look at the scope of work which Seventh-day Adventists were attempting, along with the marital struggles of James and Ellen White.
In this episode, we look at the early 1870s -the frustrating and fruitful period of Adventist church-building, where the educational and medical wings of the church took off.
In this episode, we look at James White's first term as General Conference president as well as the people and circumstances which made it practically ineffective. Poor James.
In this episode, we check out the beginning of the Adventist Church's commitment to health - in the context of the atrocious standards of mid-19th century American medical practice.
In this episode, we learn about how the new Seventh-day Adventist Church coped with the American Civil War.
In this episode (the final of our trilogy covering the organization of the Adventist church), we talk about the final steps that led to the formation of the general conference, and it's first president, who just happens to be the Adventist church's first "badventist." Along the way, we also eavesdrop on the infant church's idea on whether belief in Ellen White as a prophet should be required to anyone who wants to become an Adventist. The answer may surprise you!
In this episode (the second of our trilogy covering the organization of the Adventist church), we get to witness the first steps of church organization in the early days of the Civil War, culminating in the formation of the first state conference of churches.
In this episode, we begin a trilogy of episodes covering the organization of the movement into a proper Christian denomination. First up, we look at how the name "Seventh-day Adventist" was chosen in 1860.
In this episode, we cover one of the biggest steps in the organization of the movement into a denomination: Systematic Benevolence. This project consumed much of 1859, and the result was an affordable, simple plan to pay the preachers and proclaimers of the message.
In this episode, we talk about the Great Controversy vision and how the eventual book was revised, revised, revised, and revised until it becomes the version Adventists value above anything else she wrote...and then try to pawn off on people for free.
In this episode, the Review gets an upgrade into the industrial age. We also sort through the problems the Waukon believers had with James and Ellen White and their eventual solution. And, hey, a passing reference to Uriah Smith getting married. Congrats, man!
In this episode, we check in with James and Ellen in Battle Creek, talk about J.N. Loughborough's great tent-capade across New York, and see what happens when the brightest young preachers in the movement quit and move to Iowa.
In this episode, we look at the final days of the Review in Rochester and its move to Battle Creek - the new HQ of the Sabbatarian Adventist movement.
In this episode, the success of the Sabbatarian Adventist message brings fresh challenges. The Whites move to Rochester, NY, and set up the press there.
