Seventh-day Adventists are among the fastest-growing and most widespread Christian denominations worldwide. Their characteristic features are not only the observation of the Sabbath and the imminent expectation of the Second Coming of Christ, but also a specific lifestyle orientated towards health and longevity. Based on interviews with members of an Adventist church in Austria, the author offers insight into self-understanding and lifestyle of Seventh-day Adventists. The interviews are contextualized within a historical and theological analysis of Seventh-day Adventism. The Adventist church is thus characterized on the basis of three related dimensions, first a historical-systematic, second a social, and third an individual perspective.
