Jack W. Provonsha, A Remnant in Crisis (Hagerstown, MD: Review and Herald Publishing, 1993). In this book, Jack Provonsha,
MD, PhD, a longtime SDA and Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Christian Ethics at Loma Linda University Medical School
suggests on page 163 that " the final remnant gathering may be broader and more extensive than any formal church, as such, can
possibly organize, however successful its proselytizing strategies. This is said while giving full credit to the proleptic use of the term
`remnant.' The proleptic remnant may one day be absorbed into the final remnant that it has played such an important part in bringing
into being." He furhter asks: But what if the final remnant is mainly a quality of life and faith rather than an established institution?
