Desmond Ford (2 February 1929 – 11 March 2019)[1] was an Australian theologian who studied evangelicalism.
Within the Seventh-day Adventist Church he was a controversial figure.[2] He was dismissed from ministry in the Adventist church in 1980, following his critique of the church's investigative judgment teaching. He had since worked through the non-denominational evangelical ministry Good News Unlimited.
Ford disagreed with some aspects of traditional Adventist end-time beliefs. However, he still defended a conservative view of scripture, the Seventh-day Sabbath, and a vegetarian lifestyle. He viewed the writings of Ellen G. White as useful devotionally, but not at the level of authority held by the Church.[3]
Ford shared the sermon time at the Good News Unlimited congregation, which meets on Saturdays in the Brisbane suburb of Milton,[4] and in periodic seminars on the eastern seaboard of Australia.
