Would-be prophets and saviors emerged claiming to be explain why the world seemed to be going crazy and how the church could be saved. Some Adventists believed them. It didn't work out too well, but it became a part of why the Adventist church is the way that it is today.

(S2, E52) Sevvy Science
Summary: The late 1950s-1960s saw an incredible growth of interest in science. Those years also saw a second wave of interest in what became known as "creation science" - the attempt to situate fiat creation on a scientific basis. As with the first wave c1920, Adventists were a big part of it. Several Adventists were sent to prestigious universities to pursue high degrees and engage in the work of creation science. The Geoscience Research Institute was born. But just as a renewed interest in science elevated Adventist scientists, so a renewed interest in purging "liberalism" forced some of them into exile.

(S2, E51) Brinsmead's Back!
Summary: By the time the church really got a handle on Robert Brinsmead, he had switched sides, causing more frustration for church leaders who would rather be rid of him. They found themselves forced to take up one of Brinsmead's major topics, righteousness by faith, and present their own understanding of what righteousness by faith is in a special issue of the Review in 1974. I'm sure it will go well. The What: The Adventist History Podcast is a monthly podcast telling a story of the Seventh-day Adventist Church hosted by Matthew J. Lucio.
