J. N. Loughborough
A pioneer's record of the birth of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and biblical foundation for its unique mission. J. N. Loughborough was the first historian of the denomination. Your heart will be revived by the engaging narrative of this eye-witness account. He was present more than 50 times when Ellen White received visions, and he recounts here the fascinating phenomena that accompanied them.
By request of Ellen White, he wrote the history of the Advent movement in the books: The Rise and Progress of Seventh-day Adventists and The Great Second Advent Movement.
In 1902 Loughborough published an account of the message and history of Seventh-day Adventism entitled The Rise and Progress of the Third Angel’s Message. Unfortunately, the book was lost when the Review and Herald burned in 1903. Starting over from scratch, Loughborough wrote a new book entitled The Great Second Advent Movement that was published in 1905. In it he provides personal testimony and insight into the history of the church, the visions and prophecies of Ellen White, early divisions in the church, and various philosophical and religious matters, as well as some autobiographical material.
