On The Unique Headship Of Christ In The Church: A Statement Of The Seventh-Day Adventist Theological Seminary, Seventh-Day Adventist Theological Seminary
Books
We, the faculty of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, affirm that Christ is the only Head of the Church (Eph 1:22; 5:23; Col 1:18). Therefore, while there exists legitimate leadership in the Church, no other human being may rightfully claim a headship role in the Church.

DA 758; 2T 2:211).

The highest ratios of Seventh-day Adventists to the population are in parts of southern Africa. At the same time, other parts of Africa have only a miniscule Christian presence and the lowest ratios of Adventists to the population in the world. This contrasting picture of evangelization …

A Statement On Biblical Spirituality, Seventh-Day Adventist Theological Seminary
Books
We believe that the greatest and most urgent of all our needs is a revival of true godliness, which is true biblical spirituality, or having Christ formed in us by the Holy Spirit (Gal 4:19; Col 1:27). Such spirituality is not natural to the sinful person who regards it as foolishness: “The natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God” (1 Cor 2:14). A vital part of discipleship and the training of gospel workers at the Seventh-‐ day Adventist Theological Seminary is to enable them to cultivate genuine biblical spirituality through justification and the process of …
A Statement On The Biblical Doctrine Of Creation, Seventh-Day Adventist Theological Seminary
A Statement On The Biblical Doctrine Of Creation, Seventh-Day Adventist Theological Seminary
Books
First we formulate our understanding of the biblical account of the Creation, Fall, and the New Creation, then turn to issues regarding the interface between science and faith. We do so from the perspective of faith in a personal God as contrasted with more impersonal approaches to the divine nature. Our purpose is to facilitate constructive dialogue regarding differing worldviews such as a recent biblical Creation model contrasted with an ancient life on earth model. The document concludes by focusing on the proper stewardship of Creation.
