Lewis C. Sheafe : Apostle to Black America

Born Just as the Civil War Began, Lewis Sheafe grew to manhood at a pivotal moment in American history. But instead of racial equality, the nation offered its freed slaves further oppression and injustice. Sheafe-strong-willed, dynamic, and seemingly tireless-had but two main objectives: Uplift his people spiritually and socially, and consistently adhere to biblical principle in all aspects of life.

Douglas Morgan, professor of history at Washington Adventist University, holds a Ph.D. in the history of Christianity. He is the author of Adventism and the American Republic, a historical analysis of how Adventist beliefs about Bible prophecy have shaped the church's involvement with American society.
