Encyclopaedia Britannica's biographical entry on William Miller and the Millerite movement that gave rise to the Adventist churches.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Encyclopaedia Britannica's biography of William Miller is written and edited in-house without an academic peer review process, the middle tier reflecting a professionally fact checked general reference rather than a specialist Adventist history source. NotesA general reference encyclopedia with editorial staff and a long institutional record. Reliable for the 1844 Great Disappointment and the 1845 conference that produced the separate Adventist bodies, including the Advent Christian Church.
