Joseph Bates
Joseph Bates (1792–1872) was a co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and a key figure in early Adventism. A former sea captain, Bates devoted his life to spreading religious reform, especially promoting the Sabbath as a day of worship on Saturday. His notable works include "The Seventh Day Sabbath, a Perpetual Sign," which significantly influenced Adventist doctrine. Bates also played a crucial role in shaping the beliefs of fellow Adventist pioneers like James and Ellen G. White.
