The Origin, Development, And History Of The Norwegian Seventh-Day Adventist Church From The 1840s To 1889, Bjorgvin Martin Hjelvik Snorrason

Dissertations

This dissertation reconstructs chronologically the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Norway from the Haugian Pietist revival in the early 1800s to the establishment of the first Seventh-day Adventist Conference in Norway in 1887.

The present study has been based as far as possible on primary sources such as protocols, letters, legal documents, and articles in journals, magazines, and newspapers from the nineteenth century. A contextual-comparative approach was employed to evaluate the objectivity of a given source. Secondary sources have also been consulted for interpretation and as corroborating evidence, especially when no primary sources were available.

The study concludes …

The Gospel According To Moses And Elijah, Roy E. Gane

Andrews University Seminary Studies (AUSS)

Jesus’ gospel culminates the deliverance messages of Moses and Elijah and points to our role: If we love Christ a lot because he has forgiven us a lot (Luke 7:40-47), we will find no greater joy than reconciling precious people to one another and to him before the great day of his return.

A Kind Of Mind To Commune With, Kenneth Bergland

180 Symposium Publications

In Norway research on students and religion provides useful information for the church as it seeks to present the Gospel to a post-Christian culture and retain its own maturing young people. Erling Birkedal’s longitudinal and qualitative study of faith among youth from age 13 to 25 could be considered the most significant piece of Norwegian research on this topic at this time. The information and insights gleaned yield challenges and possibilities we as a church are facing in communicating a mature SDA-faith among contemporary Norwegian students.

The Three “C’S” Of Campus Ministry, Jiwan Moon

180 Symposium Publications

After secondary school many young people move away from home for higher education. A number of these have difficulty finding and adjusting to a new church while their parents are miles away. Absence of parental presence and guidance, and absence of mentorship from their faith communities cause these adolescents to make more decisions of their own, which are frequently influenced by their peers more than anyone else. When introduced to a new and often very secular environment, many university students find challenges in keeping their Christian identity and their religious lifestyle. Sadly, many leave home as believers, but go through …

Continue The Conversation, Sebastien Braxton

180 Symposium Publications

Academia continues to develop new research, methods, and conclusions and the SDA student should have the ability to continue the conversation on campus in the light of these new developments and share the gospel in a relevant way. This paper highlights the importance of SDA students evaluating their class material through a biblical worldview. This evaluation could take form in a paper that demonstrates command of the subject as well as the Bible. An example analysis of the subject of Economics is given within the body of this paper.

Re-Thinking Evangelism: A Heart Felt Approach, Andrew Perrin

180 Symposium Publications

The world is changing and so must the way we do evangelism. Something everyone throughout the world shares is the fact that we all experience and exhibit feelings and emotions. When we examine these feelings and emotions we hold the key to the most powerful evangelism technique—ministering to the heart of the individual. Ministering to the heart in turn opens individuals to personal healing, spiritual growth and the understanding of identity.

Campus Based Youth Ministry: An Inclusive Approach, Scott Ward

180 Symposium Publications

The Adventist church has a rich history of campus-based youth ministry centered on Adventist academy campuses. The Adventist system is so campus-based that many youth pastors attempting to follow churchbased models have difficulty including non-academy students in their ministries. The church’s mission is to reach all Adventist students in the community not just the ones attending Adventist schools. The solution is a campus-based youth ministry model that can be used for both academies and public high schools and can be used by youth pastors and lay youth leaders. By developing such campus-based youth ministries all high school aged Adventist students …

Schooled In Culture: A New Approach To Public School Ministry, David Achala

180 Symposium Publications

While many Seventh-day Adventist students attend church-sponsored schools and universities, much larger numbers enroll at public high schools and universities. Often public school students withdraw and eventually disassociate themselves from a local church. In the campus environment, many students see only two options: either they feel they have to withdraw from the campus and its culture in order to follow Jesus, or they feel like they have to conform to the culture and forsake their faith. Thankfully, there’s a third option—to follow Christ in culture. In order for this to happen, the student must both understand the campus culture and …

Let’S Go Outside: Transforming The Transitions, Kirk King

180 Symposium Publications

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is serious about the spiritual nurture of younger generations. It spends millions of dollars and dedicates countless hours to preserve the faith of children and youth. However, perhaps the most glaring gap in the church’s ministry for younger generations is the absence of ministry during significant times of transition. This is particularly true when those transitions take the young people outside the bubble of the Adventist world. Nowhere is this issue more critical than in the lives of Adventist college students who attend secular schools. The Church is also serious about evangelism. Curiously, the church is …

Lead The Way, Steve Case

180 Symposium Publications

The primary need for public campus ministry is leaders. For the Seventh-day Adventist Church, this has been the key element. Leaders direct mission, determine the emphasis, draw followers, extend their own influence, and develop stability for campus ministry. Calling leaders should take precedence over institutional approval, endorsement or funding. The call for leaders remains foundational for public campus ministry.

Supporting An Army Of Youth: Providing Needed Support For Adventist Students On Public College Campuses, Ron Pickell

180 Symposium Publications

The Seventh-day Adventist Church stands poised before a great mission field opportunity to reach today’s college campuses. We have a clear mission field – the campus closest to the nearest local Adventist church. We have a clear mandate in the stated mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church: “To proclaim to all peoples the everlasting gospel.…” We also have potential missionaries on those campuses in the estimated 50,000 Adventist students enrolled there. In addition, we also have an organizational structure in the NAD Youth/Young Adult Department (ACF/NAD), which is ready to move forward to develop resources and provide networking, training, and …
