Adventist Review

"The story of the church paper...is the story of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. That 'little paper' was our first enterprise as a people, even though our name came only eleven years later, in 1860," wrote William G. Johnsson, former editor of the Adventist Review. The GC Archives has historical copies of the Review (as it's been commonly referred to since it began) digitized and free for viewing.
