Search in google:
The completely revised second edition further explores one of the most successful of America's indigenous religious groups. Despite this, the Adventist church has remained largely invisible. Seeking a Sanctuary casts light on this marginal religion through its socio-historical context and discusses several Adventist figures that shaped the perception of this Christian sect. Kay Campbell - The Huntsville Times Sanctuary' is an ambitious sociological study of the church from its origins in the mid-19th century to its current institutions.
