Our Prophetic Heritage By Alberto Timm

Was the Advent movement just another religious experiment born in the ferment of nineteenth-century America, or something more? In this Experiences article, Alberto R. Timm traces the prophetic roots of Adventism back past William Miller to the evangelical scholars whose work Miller built on. Along the way he looks at a principle that once seemed settled: that in symbolic prophecy, a day stands for a year. Why did Miller push it too far in places, and why do so many Christians, including some Adventists, now set it aside? Timm argues that what is at stake is more than a method.
