History
Hartland opened in 1983, with Hartland Publications established in 1984. It has been accused of become increasingly critical of the Adventist church, claiming it has departed from past beliefs and practices. According to Gary Land, "by the end of the 20th century the institute was largely estranged from the denominational leadership."
Robert S. Folkenberg, General Conference president during the 1990s, accused Hartland of being critical of the church.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“There is no history of how bad became better.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
