Erwin R. Gane (b. 1931) was born in Oakleigh, Victoria, Australia, to Edward Roy
Gane, an Adventist pastor, and Olive Vesta Gane. At the age of 24, Erwin completed a
double-major in History and Education, with a minor in Economics, at the University of
Sydney, in Australia. He began his teaching career at the Sydney Seventh-day
Adventist High School and at Avondale College. Later, after a year of ministry in the
North New South Wales Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, he enrolled at the
Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University and completed a
Master of Arts in Religion, a Masters of Divinity, and a Masters of Theology. He earned
a PhD at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Nebraska.
He authored several books including Heaven’s Open Door (1989), The Battle for
Freedom (1990), This We Believe (1993), Enlightened by the Spirit (1995), You Ask,
God Answers (1998), Jesus Only: Paul’s Letter to the Romans (2005), An Examination
of Desmond Ford’s Book, Right with God Right Now (2009), Trumpet After Trumpet
(2012), and Christ Reveals Himself and the Future (2014).
On January 7, 1953, Erwin married Winsome Lillian Baron. Erwin and Winsome
had two children, Roy and Calvin. Roy Gane later became a professor in Old
Testament Studies at the Andrews University Seminary.
Arrangement
See the following listings for more information. The bulk of the collection is in the
“Writings” series. Gane developed extensive quantities of Bible studies and radio
scripts. These are in their own sub-series within the “Writings” series. In the Bible
Studies sub-series and in the “Topical Files” series Gane employed some abbreviations

for the topics. This is not difficult to decipher and has been left as he called it. The
sermons and talks are alphabetical by title within their separate sub-series.
The Roy Gane documents are alphabetical by titles. These are likely papers
Roy shared with his father.
Provenance
The collection was donated to the Center for Adventist Research in January
2018 by Erwin Gane and delivered to the Center by his son, Roy.
