About the author

Born in 1834 and dying in 1916, Wolcott H. Littlejohn was an early Seventh-day Adventist minister, speaker, and author known for defending his church’s beliefs in print and in public debate.

Accounts of his life note that he lost his sight before becoming an active Adventist, yet continued to study, preach, and produce a large amount of writing by dictating to others. That combination of blindness, intense reading, and steady output made him a memorable figure among Adventist writers of his era.

He is especially associated with doctrinal and Sabbath-related works, including The Constitutional Amendment: Or, the Sunday, the Sabbath, the Change, and Restitution. Readers interested in nineteenth-century American religious debate may find his books valuable not only for their arguments, but also for the determination behind them.
