See also: Glacier View controversyEvangelica was established in 1980 following Desmond Ford's dismissal from ministerial and teaching positions over his criticisms of the Adventist church's investigative judgment teaching. Ford soon formed his own non-denominational gospel ministry Good News Unlimited.
The "dissident bimonthly" Evangelica based in Napa, California was founded in reaction. Evangelica promoted the cause of evangelical Adventism. One author describes it as "wholly dedicated to the Fordian view on righteousness by faith, and the first issue gave a blow-by-blow description of the sacking of Ford." It was published alternately with Evangelica update (library number OCLC 9883255). Evangelica update was apparently published from 1982 till 1998, and also in 1993. Evangelica ceased publication in 1987.

“The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.”
