摘要：This book is intentionally Adventist in its perspective, and it is obviously Adventist in its vocabulary and in many of its citations. I do not, however, intend it to be exclusively Adventist in its intelligibility and applicability. For to be Adventist is to be, first and foremost, Christian; and what is most important in Adventist experience, practice, and belief is not what differentiates us from other Christians but what unites us to them.
