The transplantation of Adventism to Europe presented the young American-based denomination with
great challenges. Often referred to as an American sect the foreignness of Adventism in Europe
has been one of the greatest single hindrances to the accomplishment of its mission. In
addition to addressing historical questions regarding evangelization efforts the various
essays also give insight into contemporary aspects of Adventist outreach in Europe. This book
ultimately aspires to awaken the reader's understanding and interest for the complexity and
diversity of the European Adventist existence. The articles do not arrive at any final
conclusive results rather they are to be seen as contributions to the discussion in the
current missiological and interconfessional debate.
