1888 — 1988 The story of a century of confrontation between God and His people "All these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." (1 Corinthians 10:11) This unpretentious gathering of delegates to the 1888 General Conference Session in Minneapolis has become the focal point of intense interest in the world-wide Seventh-day Adventist Church. The General Conference are addressing serious 1888 questions as follows: What really happened in 1888? What were the doctrinal issues involved? Who were the personalities involved? What were the results that followed? This book addresses these and other vital questions. It was written originally as a private document for the General Conference. It is now updated and released in response to numerous requests world-wide. In many previously unpublished statements Ellen G. White is permitted at last to speak freely and frankly to 1888 issues of paramount interest. The bulk of these statements were unknown to most of her contemporaries. What she says will come as a surprise to many in this generation. Donald K. Short and Robert J. Wieland are ordained ministers with an aggregate total of nearly 100 years of service to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, 62 as missionaries in Africa. Publication of this book has been initiated by The 1888 Message Study Committee composed of laymembers and ministers who wish to revive that "most precious message."
