My first encounter with Dr. Maxwell was in the summer of 1973 at Andrews University where he was teaching a Seminar with Dr. Dederen. Talk about two extremes of SDA theology all in one single seminar! Many sided with Dederen, but I was clearly on the side of Maxwell and have remained there the rest of my life. Thank you Dr. Maxwell.

Now that I am retired, I am almost finished writing a book that will probably be titled: "Idolatry of Blood," with sub title: "Unscrambling the Message of Jesus." I often wonder what might have been of the Church if Dr. Maxwell had been heard with  open minds and hearts. Probably noting less than a great awakening and the proclamation of the Third Angel's Message.
