The Milton Seventh Day Baptist Church was founded in 1840, two years after the first settlement in Milton, and eight years before Wisconsin achieved statehood.The influence of this church and its founders is still felt by the community nearly 170 years later. Local landmarks like the Milton House Museum and the buildings that once housed Milton College are testament to the long, rich history of the SDBs.Long-time SDB historian Don Sanford leads the reader on a journey from the Milton church's humble beginnings to periods of rapid growth, through a traumatic division and a devastating fire, and a renewed external focus of reaching out into the community. Through it all, church members have maintained an unshakable faith and purpose.A History of the Milton Seventh Day Baptist Church is the most comprehensive study yet of the people and events that have helped shape the community of Milton, Wisconsin.

This book explores the relationship between Christian faith and Jewish identity from the perspective of three Jewish believers in Jesus living in eastern and central Europe before World War 1: Rudolf Hermann (Chaim) Gurland, Christian Theophilus Lucky (Chaim Jedidjah Pollak), and Isaac (Ignatz) Lichtenstein. They were all rabbis or had rabbinic education, and were in different ways combining their faith in Jesus as Messiah with a Jewish identity. The book offers a biographical study of the three men and an analysis of their understandings of identity. This analysis considers five categories for identification: the relation of Gurland, Lucky, and Lichtenstein to Jewish tradition, to the Jewish people, to Christian tradition, to the Christian community, and to the network of Jewish believers in Jesus. Lillevik argues that Gurland, Lucky, and Lichtenstein in very different ways transcended essentialist as well as constructionist ideas of Jewish and Christian identity.
