The word "Historicism" has more than one meaning germane to us here. (1) It is, of course, a school of thought with regard to prophetic interpretation. But beyond this, (2) Historicism was the name of a small journal I edited from 1985 through 1991. I developed the journal as an extension of my M.A. thesis research ("An Historicist Perspective on Daniel 11," Andrews University, 1994). (3) The word "historicism" also describes the present web site, one goal of which is to post to the web all of the articles from the original print publication. For these click "Contents" above.

As I look back over years of study, the conviction has only deepened with passing time that the message Seventh-day Adventists bear concerning the great prophecies of the Old and New Testaments is indeed God's truth. Are there details that invite study and clarification? Certainly. That's why I wrote on Dan 11 back in 1984 and why the present web site exists today. But the historicist framework on which the church bases its message was a solid framework for further study then and it's a solid framework now. As you browse the pages of this web site let me share with you some of the reasons why I believe this is so.
