In the Loins of Adam

About the Book

In Seventh-day Adventist Theology the specific topic of original sin has received ambivalent response in spite of the fact that Adventism claims to be evangelical in its treatment of scripture. Church discussions and debates over the nature of Christ and righteousness by faith need the perspective found in this historical study. This investigation is directed toward theologians, pastors, administrations and informed laymen who are interested in Adventist self-understanding.
