Sabbath And Schism: A Catholic Reckoning With Seventh-day Adventism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798230361725)

"Jesus rose on Sunday-but some still prefer the day He stayed in the tomb."

In this hard-hitting, theologically rich expos?, Sabbath and Schism offers an unflinching Catholic response to the claims, culture, and controversies of the Seventh-day Adventist movement. With biting irony, historical precision, and satirical clarity, this book dissects Adventism's 19th-century American roots, its failed apocalyptic prophecies, its sectarian worldview, and its ongoing theological dissonance with historic Christianity.

Written from the perspective of a Catholic academic, this reckoning is not a polemic-it is an invitation. It's a rigorous and sometimes humorous journey through the Millerite disappointment, Ellen G. White's alleged visions, the peculiar doctrine of Investigative Judgment, Sabbatarian legalism, dietary puritanism, eschatological fearmongering, and more-all measured against the robust, sacramental, and universal tradition of the Catholic Church.

For former Adventists, curious Catholics, or anyone wrestling with the claims of a self-styled "remnant," this book brings clarity, charity, and a dose of deadpan humor. It exposes the theological fault lines while extending an olive branch-one rooted not in compromise, but in Christ.

Come for the critique. Stay for the invitation.
