Biography of George Butler (2024)

Fortin, Denis. G. I. Butler: An Honest but Misunderstood Church Leader (Adventist Pioneer Series. Nampa Idaho: Pacific Press Publishing Association, 2024. 680 pp.

”Denis Fortin puts readers into George Ide Butler’s shoes, revealing his heart, understanding his arguments, and viewing the young church through his lens. Yet, Fortin presents much more than a volume about Butler himself. The work provides a dynamic stream of Adventist history from Butler’s perspective as the young denomination faced new stresses and strains—including complex family relationships and opposing power centers—as it sought to define itself and how it would operate.”
