520 |a Seventh-day Adventism began as a radical millenarian sect in 19th-century America. It has since spread across the world, achieving far more success in Latin America, Africa, and Asia than in its native land.

This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Seventh-day Adventists contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 600 cross-references entries on key people, cinema, politics and government, sports, and critics of founder Ellen White. It is an excellent reference for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Seventh-day Adventism. (Publisher).
