Last Generation Theology
Douglass was a key figure in the 1970s due to his advocacy of Last Generation Theology (LGT), a controversial theological position held by a segment of Seventh-day Adventists.
A key contribution by Douglass was his articulation of what came to be known as The Harvest Principle. Pointing to Mark 4:26-29 and Rev 14:14-16, Douglass argued that God is waiting for a ripe harvest, and as soon as that harvest "is fully ripe", He will thrust in His sickle and reap the earth - the Second Coming of Christ will at last come to pass.

Famous quotes containing the words generation and/or theology:
“My generation of the Sixties, with all our great ideals, destroyed liberalism, because of our excesses.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“... the generation of the 20’s was truly secular in that it still knew its theology and its varieties of religious experience. We are post-secular, inventing new faiths, without any sense of organizing truths. The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity.”
—Ann Douglas (b. 1942)
