Seeking Research Material

I am in need of research material. If you have any of the following, please contact me about providing photocopies:

1. Our Rest and Signs of the Times, published in Chicago. Any issues, especially 1873-1885. Alternate title is Our Rest devoted to the subject of Christ's Second Coming and the Preparation of the Church for That Event.

2. Any booklets by Thomas Wilson, editor of Our Rest and Signs of the Times.

3. This booklet by Nelson H. Barbour: The Manner of Christ’s Coming and Our Gathering Together, Herald of the Morning, 1880.

4. Zion’s Day Star, edited by Albert D. Jones, any issues.

5. The Last Trump, edited by Hugh B. Rice

6. Arthur Prince Adams: Bible Theology, 1883. Any edition.

7. The World’s Hope, issues from 1881-1887

New Project

I've started a new project while I'm waiting to hear from a literary agent and from a unversity press on the Barbour biography. For now, I'll leave the Barbour material up, though it represents a much older and incomplete version of my research.

My new project traces the history of those associated with Zion's Watch Tower from 1879 to 1887. Almost none of this story has ever been told, at least not in anything like a complete way.

Here is chapter 1 of the new project. Cite this material as: B. W. Schulz: The Development of Ecclesia Among Readers of Zion's Watch Tower: 1878-1887. Retrieved from TruthHistory.Blogspot.com

French - First Millerite to Support Storrs

H. L. Hastings - Early Supporter of Storrs' Views

H. L. Hastings wrote many influential tracts and booklets. Some of them specifically supported Conditional Immortality as advocated by Storrs. A tract by Hastings gave its title to Barbour's Three Worlds book.

Update

I continue to examine original documents. This is a very rare (one known copy) booklet published in support of Barbour's views in 1873.

Documentation

Pre-press edit has been suspended while unexpected additional research material is examined. I'll keep you updated. While you wait, enjoy this scan of part of the documentation. This is one of the small books by E. P. Woodward, one of the delagates to the Worcester Conference of February 1872. Barbour, L. T. Cunningham and Albert Simpson debated the date for Christ's return.
