[edit] History

The Adventist Review was founded by James and Ellen White in July 1849. It was then called The Present Truth, but the name was changed to The Advent Review and then Second Advent Review and Sabbath Herald (with variations) after being combined with the Sabbath Herald publication. The name was changed to Adventist Review in 1978.
