Robert J. Mayer is Senior Librarian and Assistant Professor of Theological Bibliography at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, where he has served since 1997. He is based at the seminary's Charlotte, North Carolina campus.
Prepare yourselves for an intellectual feast! In his
well-researched, reliable, and winsome account, Mayer provides his
readers with a rare glimpse into a fascinating new world: a world
that may be filled with lots of unfamiliar faces and even some
interesting new places, but that is also populated by lots of
surprisingly familiar issues. By allowing his readers to view these
old issues through new lenses, he helps us all to see the
challenges and possibilities more clearly.
--Garth M. Rosell, Senior Research Professor of Church History,
Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary This fine book offers a
fascinating window into the Protestant battle for the Bible through
tracing the Advent Christian Church's theological journey. Mayer's
overview of the modernist/fundamentalist controversy and post-WWII
Evangelicalism's influence upon the Advent tradition provides a
unique window for understanding how views of Scripture's
inspiration shape the church. A great introduction to the
trajectory of twentieth-century Protestant theological
diversity.

and Practical Theology, Director, DMin Program, Reformed
