"Neighbor" Is A Verb, Tom Shepherd
Toward A Theology Of Beauty, Jo Ann Davidson
Toward A Theology Of Beauty, Jo Ann Davidson
Faculty Publications
The natural world exhibits God’s artistic nature. Though God designed and appointed the great beauty of both the desert sanctuary and the Jerusalem temple, He insists that the exquisite lily from His own hand is still more beautiful than the greatest artistic manifestation from Solomon’s time (Luke 12:27). Thus it is not surprising that both the Old and New Testaments include rejoicing over the beauty of the created world. The poetic Psalter, along with many biblical books, brim with praise for the Creator and His creation. Accordingly, we are instructed that the study of the natural world can aid in …
Dealing With Doctrinal Issues In The Church: Part 3, Richard M. Davidson, Paul S. Ratsara
Dealing With Doctrinal Issues In The Church: Part 3, Richard M. Davidson, Paul S. Ratsara
Faculty Publications
The 1888 Minneapolis Bible conference exemplifies using wrong attitudes to deal with doctrinal controversy. In contrast to the 1888 debacle, the 1848 and the 1855 conferences exemplify right approaches toward dealing with controversial issues in the church. These illustrate the principle that the key toward dealing with controversial subjects in the church is a personal relationship with God.

Interview With Richard Blackaby: Reflections On Spiritual Leadership, Leadership, Stan Patterson
Interview With Richard Blackaby: Reflections On Spiritual Leadership, Leadership, Stan Patterson
Faculty Publications
Dr. Richard Blackaby is the president of Blackaby Ministries International and has written or co-authored with his father 23 books, including Spiritual Leadership: Moving People on to God’s Agenda and Experiencing God. He and his wife, Lisa, make their home in Greenville, South Carolina. There has been so much—some would say too much—written on the subject of leadership during the last decade. Much of this work has influenced leadership behaviors and practices in the context of Christian organizations, but relatively little has emerged from the Christian context that has had the lasting impact of the book Spiritual Leadership: Moving People …

Adventists And Ecumenism, Nicholas P. Miller
Adventists And Ecumenism, Nicholas P. Miller
Faculty Publications
A careful study of Seventh-day Adventist history and teachings will show that there is a positive ecumenism and a problematic ecumenism. The positive is about practical, on-the-ground, issue-oriented fellowship, support, and caring between Christians. The negative is a more formal, ideological search for doctrinal and institutional unity.
Moses, The Golden Calf, And False Images Of The True God, Rolf A. Jacobson
Moses, The Golden Calf, And False Images Of The True God, Rolf A. Jacobson
Faculty Publications
In Exod 32, the people demanded of Moses, “Make gods for us.” Or did they say, “Make us a god”? Translations differ. In this article, Jacobson argues for the latter, that is, that the issue is not more than one god but a false image of the true God—a sin God’s people continue to perpetuate today.
Exodus And The Authority Of The Written Word, Cameron B. R. Howard
Exodus And The Authority Of The Written Word, Cameron B. R. Howard
Faculty Publications
Thoughtful reading of Exodus involves recognizing that a predominantly oral culture lies behind the biblical text. Still, the book also records moments of writing—by both Moses and God. Through this covenantal sharing of reading and writing, God and humanity enter into a relationship of disparate power, but mutual responsibility.

Phoebe: Was She An Early Church Leader?, Darius Jankiewicz
Phoebe: Was She An Early Church Leader?, Darius Jankiewicz
Faculty Publications
The role of Phoebe in early Christianity has been hotly debated throughout the centuries, ranging from views suggesting that her ministry was nothing more than that of a helper (or patron) of the apostolic task, to those ascribing to her a significant ministerial role. As we shall see, this debate often influenced the biblical translations of the Greek words used by Paul to describe the ministry of this remarkable woman. In this article, I will focus on three aspects of Phoebe’s ministry that flow from the text of Romans 16:1, 2: her ministry as a diakonos; her role …

Dealing With Doctrinal Issues In The Church: Part 2, Richard M. Davidson, Paul S. Ratsara
Faculty Publications
Acts 15 reveals that the church, inits assembly of representative members, may indeed speak with binding authority upon the whole church, as that authority is based upon the Written Word. This chapter also provides a paradigm for dealing with doctrinal controversy, a paradigm that the Seventh-day Adventist Church may well follow when facing controversial issues.

Dealing With Doctrinal Issues In The Church: Part 1, Richard M. Davidson, Paul S. Ratsara
Faculty Publications
This series of articles suggests some ground rules for dealing with a potentially divisive theological issue. We begin by looking at the history of doctrinal controversy, both at the beginning of the Christian church and the inception of the Adventist movement, and by learning from the first Christian disciples and from our Adventist pioneers.

We believe in the unity of the church. The church comprises of people from all walks of life and from various backgrounds. While the membership of the church culturally diverse we must preserve its unity under God’s leadership. Unity should not necessarily mean uniformity in the Seventh-day Adventist church. Rather it means oneness of faith, purpose, and practice in Jesus Christ.

The Scholar And The Word Of God: Reflections On 2 Peter 1:16-21, Thomas Shepherd
The Scholar And The Word Of God: Reflections On 2 Peter 1:16-21, Thomas Shepherd
Faculty Publications
The Scriptures are at the center of who we are as a people and as a body of scholars. In handling the Word of God, we are faced with choices that seem to pull us in two directions. On the one hand, faith and conviction call for expressions and actions that are loyal to trusted beliefs and traditions. On the other hand, scholarly methodologies demand objective impartiality and unbiased investigation leading to results that may challenge long held positions. I do not have the illusion that in a short presentation such as this I could even begin to resolve the …

Magisterial Reformers And Ordination, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Magisterial Reformers And Ordination, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Faculty Publications
The magisterial reformers made a clear break with the Roman Catholic sacramental view of ordination of the clergy. The descendants of Luther and Calvin closely followed the Reformers’ ordination theologies and practice. In this paper we will discuss Luther and Calvin’s ordination theology and practice in the context of their break with the Roman Catholic Church.
Ellen G. White On Biblical Hermeneutics, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Ellen G. White On Biblical Hermeneutics, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Faculty Publications
Most of Ellen G. White’s life was spent in the nineteenth century as the foundation of the modern historical-critical method of Bible interpretation was being laid. She frequently commented on the importance of the Bible to our lives and how to interpret it. When the church was faced with difficult issues she successfully guided it, always appealing to Bible principles. This paper attempts to bring together Ellen G. White’s views on the objectives, principles, and methods for interpreting Scripture in order to discover the truth about God’s teachings and practices in the Bible.
