Matthew Lucio — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 16:50:29 +0000

(S2, E51) Brinsmead's Back!

Matthew Lucio — Sat, 22 Apr 2023 06:00:00 +0000

Summary:
By the time the church really got a handle on Robert Brinsmead, he had switched sides, causing more frustration for church leaders who would rather be rid of him. They found themselves forced to take up one of Brinsmead's major topics, righteousness by faith, and present their own understanding of what righteousness by faith is in a special issue of the Review in 1974. I'm sure it will go well.

(S2, E52) Sevvy Science

Matthew Lucio — Mon, 22 May 2023 15:40:02 +0000

Summary:
The late 1950s-1960s saw an incredible growth of interest in science. Those years also saw a second wave of interest in what became known as "creation science" - the attempt to situate fiat creation on a scientific basis. As with the first wave c1920, Adventists were a big part of it. Several Adventists were sent to prestigious universities to pursue high degrees and engage in the work of creation science. The Geoscience Research Institute was born. But just as a renewed interest in science elevated Adventist scientists, so a renewed interest in purging "liberalism" forced some of them into exile.

It's time to wrap up this mini-series on race relations in the Seventh-day Adventist Church by talking about the quest for Black unions in the 1970s. Did it end in success or failure? It's hard to say.

(S2, E54) The Wall

Matthew Lucio — Sat, 22 Jul 2023 06:00:00 +0000

Summary:
Robert H. Pierson built a wall. Not a literal wall. A wall of social positions and theological interpretations. A wall to keep liberalism out and to preserve the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The wall still stands.

(S2, E55) A Scenario of Doom

Matthew Lucio — Tue, 22 Aug 2023 20:13:31 +0000

Summary:
The occult was on the rise in the late 1960s, culminating in the "Satanic Panic" of the 1980s. Would-be prophets and saviors emerged claiming to be explain why the world seemed to be going crazy and how the church could be saved. Some Adventists believed them. It didn't work out too well, but it became a part of why the Adventist church is the way that it is today.

(S2, E57) Prophecy and Plagiarism, part 2

Matthew Lucio — Sun, 22 Oct 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Summary:
In this episode, we focus on one of the people we introduced in the last episode: Ron Numbers. His book, Prophetess of Health, has been cited as one of the most (if not the most) important scholarly studies on Ellen White. We explore how the book was written, what it says, and what happened after it was published.

Note: There are clips of Ron Numbers and Jonathan Butler in this episode. I'm grateful to Peter Dixon for conducting an interview with those two. If you'd like to watch the full interview, check out Peter Dixon’s SDA Q&A, S2, #27). Peter does a lot of great interviews.
