About the author
Born in Poland, Maine, in 1829, John Nevins Andrews became an important early voice in the Seventh-day Adventist movement. He served as a minister, writer, editor, and scholar, and was known for bringing careful study and strong conviction to questions of Bible teaching and church life.
Andrews contributed widely through articles and books, and his historical and biblical research gave lasting shape to Adventist thought. He also worked closely with other early church leaders during the movement’s formative years, helping build its publishing and teaching work.
He is often remembered most for his missionary service in Europe. In 1874 he traveled to Switzerland, becoming one of the denomination’s first official overseas missionaries, and continued his ministry there until his death in Basel in 1883.
