Book Description
The Eastern Townships of Quebec are, by any standard, a small corner of the world. The Adventist movement in that small corner is itself now only a "small corner" of Protestantism in Quebec. Yet the history of the movement in that region is, in many ways, writ large across the experience of many Protestant denominations in rural North America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Publisher Description
Adventism in Quebec: The Dynamics of Rural Church Growth, 1830-1910 traces the instructive story of the precipitous rise and intermittent decline of Sabbatarian Adventism in rural southern Quebec. Originating out of the Millerite, or Second Advent, movement of the 1840s, the Sabbatarian wing of Adventism that later developed into the Seventh-day Adventist Church flourished for a time in that area of Quebec bounded on the south by Vermont and on the north and west by the St. Lawrence River. That area is known as the Eastern Townships.
In this highly readable account, the author goes beyond history to provide a thoughtful reflection on the pointed and poignant lessons church leaders-locally, regionally and nationally-must learn about keeping a faith and movement alive and thriving in a rural setting.
Reader Reviews
This historical study appears to have been very thoroughly researched. The volume details the struggle to establish and maintain the presence of Adventism in rural southern Quebec. Despite its scholarly nature, the narrative is presented in a readable style, and pictures add extra interest. The discussion has implications for rural evangelism and reflects the challenges of all small church growth. The book was an interesting read.
