Practica Prophetica

For probably the first time ever, the shorter works of James White are gathered together into one volume. This includes writings that appeared as pamphlets, booklets, and articles.

The collection begins with the sole article James White wrote in 1842 during the Millerite revival, defending the literal fulfillment of prophecy. The next work is “A Word to the Little Flock” in 1847, and from thereon his pen was very active. There are works on the Sabbath, the Sanctuary, The parable/prophecy of Matthew 25, Conditional Immortality, Revelation 14, the Judgment, the Second Advent, Spiritual Gifts, and the Gospel.

I’ve included a section at the end with songs from his second hymnal, “Hymns for Second Advent Believers” (1852).

This is a very rich collection, from the pen of the man who was mainly responsible for establishing the various branches of the Seventh-day Adventist church work, and who was a pioneer of pioneers. It will give the reader a good foundation in Seventh-day Advent doctrine and faith: how it formed, how it developed, and how it was defended. 1365p
