Which Adventist paper was mostly devoted to Sabbath doctrines?

• A. The Adventist Review
• B. The Present Truth
• C. A Word to the Little Flock
• D. The Great Controversy

Answer: (B)

The Present Truth was the Adventist periodical dedicated most to Sabbath doctrine. Published in the late 1840s, it centered on why Seventh-day Sabbath observance was essential and offered explanations of scriptural arguments for keeping Saturday, helping to shape a shared identity around Sabbath-keeping for the early Sabbatarian Adventists. The Adventist Review later became the church’s broader newspaper, covering a wide range of topics and news rather than focusing specifically on Sabbath teaching. A Word to the Little Flock was an early tract addressing converts and pressing issues after the 1844 disappointment, but it wasn’t a Sabbath-focused periodical. The Great Controversy is a foundational theological work, not a periodical, and while it contributes to Adventist theology, it isn’t the publication primarily devoted to Sabbath doctrine.
