On The Verge Of The Millennium: A History Of The Interpretation Of Revelation, Craig R. Koester
On The Verge Of The Millennium: A History Of The Interpretation Of Revelation, Craig R. Koester
Faculty Publications
The power of a book can be seen in its effects, and few books have had more dramatic effects than Revelation. Attempts to control the effects of the book by ignoring it or dismissing it have not been successful; Revela- tion’s secrets are too alluring. We do better to consider the effects the book has had on Christians over the centuries and to let this history of influence help shape a way to read the book that is both faithful and compelling.

Who Needs Doctrines? Jesus Is Coming!, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Who Needs Doctrines? Jesus Is Coming!, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Faculty Publications
The name “Seventh-day Adventist” reveals the major characteristics of the remnant church, highlighting the importance of the Sabbath and the second advent. From time to time one hears the opinion that these are really all that matter and that all other doctrines or fundamental beliefs are really not that crucial. Over the years, it seems, doctrine has gotten a bad reputation. Some feel we harp too much on doctrine and not enough on love. Others feel doctrines don’t save, only Jesus does. Still others would intimate that doctrines make us “legalistic” and “behavior-oriented.”
The Sanctuary And Adventist Experience, P. Gerard Damsteegt
The Sanctuary And Adventist Experience, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Faculty Publications
The essence of the sanctuary doctrine is its unique revelation of Christ's ministry of reconciliation for and in us, enabling us to experience His love, which we can share with others in unselfish and sacrificial service so they see a genuine revelation of Jesus as the only hope for humanity. It embraces our mental, spiritual, and physical attributes, and is designed to transform sinners into victorious people who are patiently yet actively awaiting the coming of their Savior. "Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus" (Rev. …

Blessings Of The Disappointment, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Blessings Of The Disappointment, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Faculty Publications
I believe the pioneers would point out that they experienced the great disappointment precisely because they did believe that Christ's ministry in the most holy place began at His ascension. The disappointment itself led them to the surprising discovery that this understanding was incorrect and was out of harmony with the broader context of the whole Bible.
Inspiration Of The Scriptures In The Writings Of Ellen G. White, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Inspiration Of The Scriptures In The Writings Of Ellen G. White, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Faculty Publications
Recently the subject of inspiration has received increasedattention among Seventh-day Adventists. A growing number ofbelievers are beginning to realize that one’s view of the inspirationof the Bible has far reaching implications for one’s daily decisionsand lifestyle.Ellen White sees an intimate connection between the true view of inspiration,the infallibility of the Scriptures and the absolute confidence in thetrustworthiness of its teachings. This, therefore, makes it ofparamount importance for church leaders to strive to uphold thetrue Biblical teaching of inspiration. It is vital to the believers’possession of the assurance of salvation and the effectiveness oftheir mission.
The Seal Of God, P. Gerard Damsteegt
The Seal Of God, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Faculty Publications
Deep in the Adventist theology of last-day happenings is a predicted development which portends the destiny of all living persons. We have heard it preached from pulpits for years—people will receive either the mark of the beast or the seal of God. This is the outcome of the third angels message, the great showdown of the great controversy.

Review Of Magnificent Disappointment: What Really Happened In 1844 And Its Meaning For Today, By C. Mervyn Maxwell., P. Gerard Damsteegt
Faculty Publications
Magnificent Disappointment is a popularly written book in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Great Disappointment of 1844 when the hopes of Adventists were dashed when Jesus did not return. C. Mervyn Maxwell, one of the finest Seventh-day Adventist historians, attempts to explain the meaning of 1844 and its relevancy for today.

Seals And Sealing Among Ancient And Latter-Day Israelites, Dana M. Pike
Seals And Sealing Among Ancient And Latter-Day Israelites, Dana M. Pike
Faculty Publications
When a Latter-day Saint encounters the terms seal and sealing, thoughts of temples and eternal marriage come immediately to mind. In a more secular context, we may look for the "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval" when purchasing certain products, and we obtain a notary's seal on important documents. What we may not realize is that our use of secular seals and our religious concepts of sealing have a history that can be traced back several thousands of years to the ancient Near East. Knowledge of the history of seals and sealing helps us to understand the figurative use of these …

The Bible, Congregational Leaders, And Moral Conversation, Patrick R. Keifert
Faculty Publications
No matter how old an observation, it remains nonetheless true: We tend to remember the preacher more than the sermon, the teacher more than the lecture. Perhaps that is all we have recently learned in a preliminary study of twelve congregations in the Southwestern Minnesota Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (SW Synod). However, there are some nuances that raise very important questions for theological education in seminaries and congregations—and, even more important, insights for the role of leaders and their use of Scripture in the moral conversations within congregations. In short, we have found from dozens of …

Early Adventist Timesettings And Their Implications For Today, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Early Adventist Timesettings And Their Implications For Today, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Faculty Publications
A few Seventh-day Adventists interpret the time prophecies of Daniel and Revelation in a futuristic way. They view “prophetic days,” not in years as historical Adventists, but in literal days. A major reason for this approach is that they do not see much relevance in the way the prophecies have been interpreted. Consequently, these individuals are looking with great anticipation to a flurry of current events that they integrate into a final events prophetic scenario. Through this futuristic method they feel confident that they are accurately predicting major events in the great controversy that will usher in the Second Advent …

Free Speech In Pauline Political Theology, David E. Fredrickson
Free Speech In Pauline Political Theology, David E. Fredrickson
Faculty Publications
Although it is generally recognized today that Paul’s faith was not a religion of subjectivity, some may nevertheless object to the notion that the apostle’s theology has a political dimension. Surely, it may be said, the sectarian communities which Paul nurtured with the stark contrasts of “outsiders” and “insiders” did not think that their task was to influence public policy in the cities of the Roman empire. While it is of course preposterous to think that the early Christians had Caesar’s ear, influencing public policy is only one way of engaging in politics.
Nephite Uses And Interpretations Of Zenos, Noel B. Reynolds
Nephite Uses And Interpretations Of Zenos, Noel B. Reynolds
Faculty Publications
The allegory of the olive tree attributed to the ancient prophet Zenos and copied from the plates of brass into the small plates by Jacob was a source used by several Book of Mormon prophets. Lehi, Nephi, Jacob, and Alma seemed to be relying on the allegory at several points in the elaboration of their own visions, prophecies, and teachings. This paper provides a systematic documentation of this phenomenon, including passages that have not previously been linked to Zenos. It also demonstrates how the interpretations of the allegory by the earliest Nephite prophets advanced distinctive concepts and language that also …
The Distant Triumph Song: Music And The Book Of Revelation, Craig R. Koester
The Distant Triumph Song: Music And The Book Of Revelation, Craig R. Koester
Faculty Publications
Music plays a larger role in the book of Revelation than in any other book of the New Testament, and few books in all of Scripture have spawned more hymns sung in Christian worship today. Attention to how the hymnic material in Revelation would have sounded to the Christians who first heard it, to the place of these hymns in Revelation as a whole, and to their relation to the rest of Scripture can help revitalize the singing of the hymns these passages have inspired.
