The following is a comment of Milton Hook from his forthcoming biography of Desmond Ford

The reality is that Adventism can be characterized as the Owl and the Aging Tiger. The Owl is on the endangered list but occasional sightings still happen. One was an Alden Thompson variety called Inspiration, spotted in America. And a Kai Arasola species, The End of Historicism, was seen in Europe. A few small colonies are said to exist. Being shy, nocturnal creatures they are difficult to trace. “On the other hand, The Aging Tiger still roams at large. He has appeared in the form of author Clifford Goldstein’s unbelievable publications, Gerhard Pfandl’s implausible Sabbath School Lesson quarterly, Daniel, and Erwin Gane’s quarterlies, especially Enlightened by the Spirit.”
