Book Description

February 1, 1982
The work of a specialist is highly valued when his particular line is under investigation.

This work is the product of many years of careful study by a specialist on the history, methods and doctrines of Seventh Day Adventists. For twenty-eight years I was intimately associated with that people, as member, minister, writer and author and aided much in building up that work. I joined them only fourteen years from their beginning, hence became well acquainted with all its founders, their early theories, and have all their first books published during the first forty years. Am perfectly familiar with every argument they use and the answer to it. I know their inside history and weak points as others could not. It is a complete text book on that subject. Here is what competent judges say who have read and used it :

“On some subjects there is one book that stands so far above all other books on the same subject that if a person has that one book he needs no other on that subject. Canrights Seventh-Day Adventism Renounced is just such a book. It is a complete and perfect exposure of that delusion from beginning to end. Adventists have attempted no reply to it for the simple reason that they cannot, so they are trying to throw doubt on his character and standing, but that also is a hopeless task. If you are troubled with Adventism, get this book. Read it; study it; lend it ; confront them with it ; insist on them meeting it, and you will have no more trouble with them.”
--Southland Evangelist, Hartworth, Texas.

“It is the best book I have ever seen on the subject, after a study of it for twenty years.”
--Rev. Wm. Armstrong, Canton, Pa., Genessee Conf. of M. E. Church.

“It is a very full discussion of the question on which Adventists differ from us.”
--Baptist Christian Herald, Detroit, Michigan.

“It is a thorough exposure of this, modern delusion. How any system of error can survive such an exposure will be a mystery. This book ought to be circulated in every community where Adventism is preached.”
--Christian Oracle (Disciple) Des Moines, Iowa.

“I am delighted with it. It is kind, candid, careful, correct and comprehensive. I heartily commend the work as the best that has yet been published on that subject.”
--Prof. D. R. Dungan, President of Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa.

“He exposes with unsparing logic, but never with malice, the errors of Seventh-Day Adventism. This book is eminently fitted to do good.”
--Rev. Kendall Brooks, D. D., ex- President of Kalamazoo College, Michigan.

“I did not know that it was possible to give so perfect an answer to t the letter of Adventism I have always felt that its spirit was contrary to the Gospel. Your exposure is doubtless the ablest and most comprehensive in existence.”
--Rev. Theodore Nelson, LL. D., late president of Kalamazoo Baptist College.

“I pronounce it simply overwhelming.”
--Rev. B. F. Whittemore, Principal of Lester Seminary, Holden, Missouri.

"Your work is a book we have long needed, and now should be in the hands of every Christian.”
--Rev. J. Cairns, Colfax College, Wash.

“No other book has fallen into our hands that is so well adapted to meet the sophistry and statements of Seventh-Day Adventists as this.”
--Central Free Will Baptists, Farmington, West Virginia.

“The most effective work that has yet been published.”
--Missionary Visitor.

“It would be a good plan to place a copy of it in every circulating library in the land.”
--Methodist Michigan Christian Advocate, Detroit.

“A strong and vigorous book on Seventh-Dayism. The best thing published upon this subject.”
--Chicago Standard, Baptist.

“An interesting and valuable book.”
--Central Baptist.

“What books would you recommend to meet the advocates of S. D. Adventism? “Ans. “We would recommend you to read Seventh- Day Adventists Renounced, by Eld. Canright.”
--The Christian Workers Magazine, Oct., 1912, published by the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.

No better recommend could be given.
--This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

The author jumped into another boat for a better salary - that's all. Off course, he builds a whole scenario trying to justify himself. Such a pity...

1.0 out of 5 stars Bitter, Falsified and Confused, May 10, 2008
By 
This review is from: Seventh Day Adventism Renounced (Paperback)
D. M. Canright's 1889 publication, "Seventh-day Adventism Renounced" is the platform all modern critics of Adventism stand upon. Unfortunately, like other works that have followed, it's filled with falsified information. If this is what so many are eager to give glowing praise, an examination is in order. Let's compare just a few renunciations posed against Seventh-day Adventism, then see if they are sound or unsubstantiated.

What did Mr. Canright have to say regarding God's moral Ten Commandments law, and does it stand up to historic Christianity?

D.M. Canright: "Now, under Christ, we are delivered from the law; the law is dead." Seventh-day Adventism Renounced, p. 331
"The letter of the law is not binding upon Christians as a coercive code." Ibid., p. 330.
"We have something better than the decalogue." Ibid., p. 355.

That was the converted to Baptist minister Canright in 1889. But only 3 years prior while still an Adventist we quote:

"Thus we see that whenever the ten commandments are mentioned, or any one of them, either by Jesus or His apostles, they are always praised, exalted, and enforced. That law is held up as the standard of life, the test of character, and the rule of judgement." The Two Laws (1886) p. 97.

Now the historic Protestant Christian point-of-view. See which Canright was more on track.

John Calvin(regarded as the father of Presbyterianism, and indirectly of Calvinistic Baptists): "We must not imagine that the coming of Christ has freed us from the authority of the law; for it is the eternal rule of a devout and holy life, and must therefore be as unchangeable as the justice of God, which it embraced, is constant and uniform." Calvin's Comment on Matthew 5:17 and Luke 16:17, in Commentary on a Harmony of the Gospels, vol. 1, p. 277.

D.L. Moody(often quoted by Canright himself): "The law that was given at Sinai has lost none of its solemnity. Time cannot wear out its authority or the fact of its authorship.... I HAVE NEVER MET AN HONEST MAN THAT FOUND FAULT WITH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS." Weighed and Wanting, p. 11. Emphasis mine.

Charles H. Spurgeon(well known fellow Baptist preacher and contemporary of Mr. Canright): "The law of God must be perpetual. There is no abrogation of it, nor amendment of it. It is not to be toned down or adjusted to our fallen condition; but every one of the Lord's righteous judgements abideth forever.... To show that He never meant to abrogate the law, our Lord Jesus has embodied all its commands in His own life." From a sermon preached in 1898 in London, England; widely published and first appearing in Australia in the Melbourne Age.

Dr. Albert Barnes: "We learn hence: 1. That all the law of God is binding on Christians. Compare James 2:10. 2. That all the commands of God should be preached in their proper place, by Christian ministers. 3. That they who pretend that there are any laws of God so small that they need not obey them, are unworthy of His kingdom. And 4. That true piety has respect to all the commandments of God. Compare Ps. 119:6." Rev. Albert Barnes, Commentary (New York: Harper and Brothers, 1868), note on Matthew 5:19.

John Wesley: "The ritual or ceremonial law, delivered by Moses to the children of Israel, containing all the injunctions and ordinances which related to the old sacrifices and service of the temple, our Lord indeed did come to destroy, to dissolve, and utterly abolish. To this bear all the apostles witness.... This 'handwritting of ordinances' our Lord did blot out, take away, and nail to His cross. [Col. 2:14.]
"But the moral law contained in the ten commandments, and enforced by the prophets, He did not take away. It was not the design of His coming to revoke any part of this. This is a law which never can be broken, which 'stands fast as the faithful witness in heaven.' The moral law stands on an entirely different foundation from the ceremonial or ritual law.... Every part of this law must remain in force upon all mankind and in all ages; as not depending either on time, or place, or any other circumstance liable to change; but on the nature of God and the nature of man, and their unchangeable relation to each other." Sermons on.Several Occasions (New York: Waugh & Mason, 1836), vol. 1, pp. 221, 222.

Not convinced yet as to which Canright, Adventist or Baptist, was more in line with historic Protestant Christian thinking on the law and the Sabbath? Let's quote a few more sources.

Jesus: "Verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:18, 19. KJV

How about Weymouth's translation of the same text:

"Solemly I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not one iota or smallest detail will pass away from the law until all has taken place. Whoever therefore breaks one of these least commandments and teaches others to break them, will be called the least in the kingdom of the heavens." The New Testament in Modern Speech.

Can Adventists be considered at fault for continuing to teach what the Bible, and historic Christianity considers still binding upon us? Doesn't the charge of Canright's "Seventh-day Adventism Renounced" on page 59, now sound groundless about Adventism? That "it leads to infidelity." Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? Adventism "leads to infidelity" because they teach man's duty to keep, not break the moral law of ten commandments? Something Mr. Canright turned Baptist advocated, along with many reviewers of this book. Does that even stand up to sound reasoning? Maybe it's just that one commandment most churches refuse to accept; the "hated" seventh-day Sabbath.

But remember those highly regarded Protestant men of faith we just quoted above? Their words seem to be totally inclusive of the Sabbath as well, since it is right smack in the midst of the other ten. Let's quote another source on just that particular commandment.

Martin Luther(considered the prince of the Reformation movement): "God blessed and sanctified the Sabbath. This He has not done with any other creature. For heaven and earth or any other creature has He not sanctified to Himself; but only the seventh day. The significance of this is especially that we should learn from it to understand that the seventh day is particularly suited for and ought to be used for divine worship. For that is called sanctified, which is separated from all other creatures and dedicated to God. To sanctify is to select to holy use or divine worship, an expression often used by Moses, for instance when he speaks of holy vessels.
"It is evident from this text, that even though Adam had stood the test and had remained in his innocency, he would still have kept the seventh day.
"And, even though man by sin has lost his perception of God, yet God has willed that the commandment to keep holy the Sabbath should remain, and has willed that man on the seventh day should practice and inculcate the word and worship of God." Dr. Martin Luther's Copious Exposition on Genesis, translated according to the German Text in Walch's Edition by F.W. Bugge, vol. 1, pp. 62, 63.

Of course many would now make Canright the greatest scholarly commentator and expositor on the Sabbath, even more so than the above quoted Christian leaders. This is how it would appear from the many favorable reviews of his book. Look once more, as we quote the before and after Canright; Seventh-day Adventist/Baptist. And remember, these two works of his where only written a mere 3 years apart from one another.

Canright(Adventist): "It is claimed that nine are referred to while the fourth is not; but this is false. The Sabbath is mentioned in the New Testament oftener than any other of the ten commandments, being not less than fifty-nine times in all. It is worthy of notice that in all these numerous references not one word is spoken derogatory to the honor and sacredness which it had always possessed." The Two Laws, p. 120.

Canright(Baptist): "Strange to say, the duty to keep the seventh day is not once mentioned in the whole New Testament." Seventh-day Adventism Renounced, p. 267.

And I wish we could go on, but space will not permit me for we've only scratched the service of Mr. Canright's false statements and accusations. We haven't even touched upon his attacks toward Ellen G. White and such claims found on pages 74 and 75, like falsely accusing us of not believeing in the divinity of Christ, the existence of the devil, baptism or organization? And in his very own deceitful words: "Gracious! And these are the people sent with a 'message' to warn the church!"

Don't you see the smokescreen? Don't you perceive the level some critics will stoop to out of bitterness to deceive many? But I recommend to you all sincere seekers of truth W.H. Branson's "In Defense of the Faith" available here on amazon.com, and reviewed by me personally. First published in 1933 as a rebuttal to "Seventh-day Adventism Renounced," it exposes the 1889 edition thoroughly. Then after reading, see what you think of Canright's work then. And while you're at it, check-out Francis D. Nichol's "Ellen G. White and Her Critics" to see how the same recycled arguments still circulating today, were soundly answered over a half century ago. But there will be those "ex-Adventists" mocking even the evidence given today, since Canright seems to be the shaky foundation on which they stand. And since they are so... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Charles Darwin Revisited, September 11, 2007
This review is from: Seventh Day Adventism Renounced (Paperback)
D.M. Canright, like Charles Darwin are so-called icons with the same problem that will follow them right up to the point of the day of judgment. They both have turned so many would be believers against God, that the blood that is on their hands will not stop flowing until Jesus comes. As in the "end of life recantation" offered by Charles Darwin in renouncing his Origin of the Species theory. No one takes the well needed time to tell the "rest of the story."

"Well here is the rest of the (untold) story."

From the Book Omega II, by Lewis Walton, pgs 32-32, we read...

"While still an Adventist minister, Canright had once complained that he could have become an acclaimed preacher were it not for the unpopularity of the Advent message. For a time he may have enjoyed a bit of the glory for which he had dreamed. His book was accepted by a major New York publisher, and curious people came to hear this once-talented Adventist debater ridicule his former church. (His book would still be used in the late Twentieth Century by evangelical critics of Adventism.) But Canright's brief day in the sun ended like a classic tragedy. Turned out of his pastorate in a prominent Protestant church, he finally roamed ghost-like around Battle Creek, selling shopworn books (some of them Adventist) for a meager door-to-door living. At last he found himself with nothing except lonely memories of what might-have-been. In 1919, with the shadows of his last illness deepening about him, he would reach out from the twilight into which he was descending, for one last appeal to his brother: " Stay with the message, Jasper. I left and I know I am dying, a lost man."
