Episode 13  | Hiram Edson : The Theological Birthplace

Episode 14 | The Birth of Spiritualism & The State of the Dead 

What happens when you die? Its a huge question that every culture grapples with. George Storrs is not as well known as some but his theological contribution to Adventism was huge as he sought to answer the question - what happens when you die? His answers would go against the grain of popular Christian thought and modern spiritualism which was popularised by the Fox sisters.


 Episode 15 | Henry White's Death at Fort Howland

 Topsham, Maine was the scene of many significant events for the Advent believers but for Ellen White none perhaps so personal as the loss of her son, Henry White at age 16. This was the second child that the Whites lost and it was a particularly devastating blow to the family but God pulled them through.


 Episode 16 | Eugene Farnsworth & Ellen White
