Doctrinal errors (Investigative Judgment, etc.) are analyzed by a former SDA pastor. An evangelical resource and an appeal to SDA leadership. From the back cover: If you have ever wondered what makes Seventh-Day Adventism different from evangelical Christianity, you're holding in your hand the very best explanation I've ever seen. This book will affect and challenge Adventism for decades to come. --Pastor Mark Martin, Calvary Community Church, Phoenix, Arizona Ratzlaff's writing clearly possesses a spirit of meekness; it is nevertheless a tour de force. Patiently pursuing his subject, he lays out the evidence supporting an irresistible conclusion--Ellen White was not a true prophet or messenger from God, and the Seventh-Day Adventist Church is not what it claims to be, the only true "remnant church." If Adventist leadership will heed his plea, then perhaps their church is salvageable. If not, then it is time for evangelicals everywhere to say to the Christians within Adventism, with neither malice nor exultation, but with one united and very earnest voice, "Babylon is fallen! Come out of her, my people!" --Timothy Oliver, Editor & Researcher, Watchman Fellowship Of all the books I have read on Seventh-Day Adventism, this is the most in-depth, yet readable examination of SDA's 1844 investigative judgment doctrine. The analysis of this doctrine is formidable. From the historical point of view, the book is well documented and unbiased with the facts clearly laid out before the reader to evaluate. The biblical evidence is also convincing. The way Mr. Ratzlaff analyzes the main points of SDA doctrine and confronts SDAs with Bible truth is superb. I congratulate Mr. Ratzlaff for this wonderful work. --Pastor Ernesto Alers-Martir, Spanish Bethel Christian Missionary Alliance Church, Montreal, Quebec I agree with Mr. Ratzlaff that the doctrine of the investigative judgment is antithetical to the biblical gospel....I hope that many Seventh-Day Adventists will read Dale Ratzlaff's book and think through the issues he raises. The Seventh-Day Adventist pioneers made some bold claims. I hope that the present-day Seventh-Day Adventist church will come to grips once and for all with the theological implication of those claims. --Kenneth R.
