Seeking a Sanctuary: Seventh-day Adventism and the American Dream is a book about the Seventh-day Adventist Church coauthored by Malcolm Bull and Keith Lockhart. Some authors[who?] have described it as the best book about the church, covering major areas such as Adventist theology and culture (see reviews below).
Contents |
[edit] Overview
The book was first published in 1989; a second edition was released in 2006. Both its authors have Adventist backgrounds. According to Lockhart, the central theme "is that Adventism represents a deviant but successful response to the general American dream of self-realization and material success."[cite this quote]
Lockhart was born into an Adventist family, became a member of the church through baptism, and studied theology at Newbold College (where he later taught) and religion at Andrews University. Bull was also born into an Adventist family and spent one year at Newbold College, but never officially joined the church. Lockhart works as a freelance journalist, and Bull as a lecturer at the University of Oxford.[1]
[edit] Adventist Forum meeting
The book's authors gave a series of presentations on "Adventism's Futures" at the Adventist Forums conference in Santa Rosa, California on September 29, 2007.[citation needed] Julius Nam responded in his blog, "Thoughts on the Future of Adventism: A Response to Bull & Lockhart", later expanded in Spectrum 35:4.
