LOMA LINDA UNIVERSITY
On November 14, 2007, the Loma Linda University School of Religion hosted a visiting scholar from outside of the SDA Church (a former SDA) to make the first presentation of the Adventism and the World Lecture Series, held at Loma Linda University - Campus Hill Church.
Dr. Kenneth G.C. Newport presented a multimedia overview of his new book to the well attended meeting, entitled “Behold the Lord Will Come with Fire (cf. Isa. 66:15) – David Koresh, the Branch Davidians and Seventh-day Adventism.” After the lecture, a response was given by Dr. David Larson of the Loma Linda School of Religion, followed by a question and answer session.
Kenneth Newport’s new book is entitled The Branch Davidians of Waco: The History and Beliefs of an Apocalyptic Sect (2006 Oxford).
