| James K. Humphrey and the Sabbath-day Adventists. By R. Clifford Jones. (Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 2006. vi, 250 pp. $50.00, ISBN 978-1-57806-891-3.)
|
| R. Clifford Jones has produced an exhaustive study of an early twentieth-century Harlem minister who became a leading African American figure in the Seventh-day Adventist Church and later broke away and started the Sabbath-day Adventists Church. The account places James K. Humphrey's career in the context of the Seventh-day Adventist encounter with African Americans, integrating denominational history with biography, and it covers the survival of the Sabbath-day Adventists after Humphrey's retirement in 1947. |
