The Evolution of Seventh-Day Adventism

Sally Kohn: I cringe a little when I think of myself as an expert in Seventh-day Adventism. So much of what I learned about Adventism came through my own experience of climbing out of it and into orthodoxy. Ellen White was perhaps the exception because she was raised Methodist, but I think she had no real theological convictions. She was more moved by the visions that she started having as a teenager. The founders were anti-trinitarian and Aryan or semi-Aryan. They don't believe in spirit and they don't believe that God is truly triune.
