  • The Quo Vadis Problem and Solution in Historicism of Daniel 11
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 5, No. 9(1); September 2015 The Quo Vadis Problem and Solution in Historicism of Daniel 11 Koot van Wyk Visiting Professor Department of Liberal Education, Kyungpook National University Sangju Campus South Korea Sook Young Kim Conjoint lecturer of Avondale College Australia Abstract Currently Historicism scholars are hesitant about the relevancy to the text of Daniel 1, specifically 11:36-45, although relevancy of the text with history in Daniel 2, 7, 8, 9 and Revelation 13 is clear and somewhat consistent. Starting with the Victorian Age, historicists still interpreted the whole chapter as literal and Uriah Smith (1877) interpreted the last verses (vv. 36-45) in the light of Turkey’s history and the French. James White objected to his political literal application of these last verses of Daniel 11 and wanted him to consider a continuation of Rome as fourth empire to the end. White (1877) used Rome as an umbrella statement to include both Pagan Rome and the Holy Roman Empire. Shortly after 1900 some scholars objected by papers against Smith. There were those stressing the symbolical application and those stressing the literal application. Arguments for and against each other were regularly presented. The methodology of the symbolical interpreters for these last verses sometimes followed a concordance method of interpretation and ideas or meanings were carried in from other parts of the Old Testament. Others (since the late 1980’s) used literary structure to discover chiastic structures minimally and another current scholar as maximally, to superimpose meanings on this grey area of understanding.

  • Bible Conference
    4th International Bible Conference Program Book Rome June 11–21, 2018 Fourth International Bible Conference - PROGRAM Book | 1 Welcome Dear Colleagues – Theologians and Administrators, Welcome to the Fourth International Bible Conference! We have come to the so-called Eternal City, a place that in times past encapsulated the pow- er and glory of the great Roman empire. But like its predecessors, the great power represent- ed by the iron legs in the dream of Nebuchadnezzar eventually came to an end. So it is not without significance that we gather precisely here to attend a conference on eschatology. Eschatology belongs to the very ethos of the Seventh-day Adventist Church inasmuch as our church was conceived in the womb of an eschatological hope. Our unique understanding of the cosmic conflict—which will culminate in the eradication of evil and the establishment of a new heaven and a new earth—is a profound source of hope in an age of despair. And to reaffirm this hope, which is based on the solid foundation of God’s Word, we have come to this place. This is an opportunity to study together the Word of God as we attend and engage in the lectures and presentations. And as we visit places connected to the ancient history of Rome we shall further understand that “kings and kingdoms shall all pass away,” but the kingdom of God will last forever. An International Bible Conference also provides the opportunity to get acquainted with each other and learn from the different experiences of our brothers and sisters around the world.

Most of these engage in the training of Pastors at one level or another. Many offer graduate level degrees, and require a thesis or dissertation. This work is the first attempt to create a bibliography of theses and dissertations from all of these tertiary educational institutions. While a student at Andrews University, Jón Hjörleifur Stefánsson had the vision of developing this database, and I was pleased to provide the necessary support for this to happen. The data for the bibliography was gathered directly from the many institutions, and their cooperation has been greatly appreciated.
