Resumen
Seventh–day Adventists (SDA) trace their unique interpretation of the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation to a tradition going back to Irenaeus, the Reformers, Isaac Newton, and William Miller. The most exhaustive study of this subject has been undertaken by Le Roy Edwin Froom’s four-volume publication The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers. The purpose of this paper has been to show the shared historicist roots between Jonathan Edwards, Sir Isaac Newton, and Seventh–day Adventists. Despite the geographical, temporal, and religious barriers between these three different representatives of Christian theology, they share a common theological root. This paper has shown that the similarities between Jonathan Edwards and SDA eschatology were partially a result of their mutual dependence on Isaac Newton’s historicist interpretation of Revelation 11–13.
