This pamphlet, from Advent Christian Publications, is a handy guide that addresses only the distinctive doctrines held by all Advent Christians. It deals with man's nature, the definitions of death, soul, heaven, immortality, resurrection, eternal punishment, and the big one: docrtines of the return of Christ at the end of the age.

The Advent Christian Church was the first to join the National Association of Evangelicals when it was formed some fifty or so years ago. Today it enjoys fellowship with most mainstream evangelical denominations.

There are no narratives in this booklet. It is only 18 pages long and is a quick read.

But, you would not want to read this through, as a novel. You would use it for personal Bible study, or as a resource for lesson or sermon planning.

For my friends that are not Advent Christians, it would be an interesting thing to study.

The problem with those that disagree with our AC conclusions, is that they could not come up with a similar booklet, with anywhere near the volume of Scriptural references in this pamphlet, to support their view. The orthodox views of immortality soulism, heaven and hell, and judgment tend to lean on a certain quality of text, one or two here and there, that bolster their views. But if the Bible student wishes to have a lengthy list of Scriptures to support this or that doctrine, it would be hard to top this collection.

I recommend this book to all Christians, and even to non-Christians that might be surprised to find that there are some among us, with such odd beliefs as these! And such a discovery may even, God willing, lead a person to Christ!… (altro)
