] is a book about the Seventh-day Adventist Church coauthored by Malcolm Bull ( [http://www.ruskin-sch.ox.ac.uk/People/staff_detail.php?id=3 staff profile] ) and Keith Lockhart. It has been described as the best book about the church, covering major areas such as Adventist theology and culture.Fact|date=April 2008

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."

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.

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.
