Papers of Raymond F. Cottrell Collection 238

Center for Adventist Research James W hite Library Andrews University Berrien Springs, Michigan December 2005 Processed by F. Edgar N unes and Donald McKinnie Raymond F. Cottrell Papers Collection 238

Scope and Content

Raymond Forrest Cottrell (1911-2003) was one of the leading theologians and intellectuals of the Seventh- day Adventist denomination during the last half of the 20th century. He served as a pastor, missionary to China, college professor, associate editor of the Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary series, associate editor of the Review and Herald magazine, and a book editor at the Review and Herald Publishing Association. He retired in 1977 but remained very active in theological discussions. He was a founder and contributor to Adventist Today until his death.

This is a very extensive collection of well over 250 scholarly papers, the vast majority of them written by Cottrell. There are papers covering the topics of hermeneutics, exegesis, church polity, governance, and history, Daniel, Revelation, Ellen W hite, science, plus many others. Cottrell surely had a wide range of interests and seemingly an input on almost every subject which became current in the second half of the 20th century. Nearly all of the papers are unpublished meaning they were designed for limited circulation. Many of the papers were prepared for distribution to a church sponsored study group or committee such as the Bible Research Fellowship or the Biblical Research Institute.

Perhaps one of Cottrell’s greatest contributions to the Adventist Church was his work on the authoritative Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary series. As mentioned above he served as the associate editor of the series along with editor Francis D. Nichol. Besides editing many thousands of pages of other peoples work he wrote about 2,000 pages. The Commentary articles are not signed. Cottrell provides a list of the various authors and what books of the Bible they contributed to on the project.

A significant work of Cottrell’s which is not well known is his Eschatology of Daniel. It is at number 222 in the inventory. It was never formally published. Cottrell says the manuscript awaits a climate of openness and objectivity in the church, which is essential to a fair examination of the facts.”

Arrangement

The papers were originally arranged by Cottrell himself. W e retained his comments about many of the papers. This can be seen in the following Inventory. This commentary often provides invaluable insight into the context in which a paper was prepared. His arrangement followed a topical approach with the following major sections: Corporate Bible study in the church Hermeneutical methodology Applied hermeneutics Ford and Rea affairs Ellen W hite and Biblical hermeneutics Church polity, governance, and history Science and the Bible Unclassified.

These sections contained over 200 papers in Cottrell’s arrangement. In addition to the classified papers there were a large number of unclassified works as well as papers not in the inventory originally supplied by Cottrell. During processing, the Center for Adventist Research personnel attempted to classify many of these previously unclassified papers. Several things were done. Previously unclassified papers were placed at the end of each subject section. Consequently, the call numbers for these papers are not always in sequential order. Brief descriptions of the unclassified papers have also been added; longer comments written have been written in italics to distinguish them from Cottrell's remarks. They also have been given an alpha- numeric number in the register inventory. For example, 219a, 219b, etc.

Page 2 of 39 The numbering can be slightly confusing until you understand what it all means. Here is an example and an explanation. 024041 Box 1 Folder 42 39. “Hermeneutics . . . The 024041 is the call number the Center needs in order to retrieve the document for you. The Box 1 Folder 42 is the documents position within the collection as arranged by the Center. The 39. is Cottrell’s original numbering. Due to the manner in which the Center is managing this collection you should call for the papers by the six digit number associated with each title–024041 in the above example.

Provenance

Raymond F. Cottrell originally donated the collection to the Loma Linda University Department of Archives and Special Collections. The date of that donation is not known though it was after 1996. In 2005 the Andrews University Center for Adventist Research asked the Loma Linda University Department of Archives and Special Collections to make a photocopy of the collection. This was done.

It should also be noted that at the time of Cottrell's original donation to Loma Linda that some of the documents listed in Cottrell's inventory were missing from the collection. Such instances are noted by the heading "Empty folder" in the register.

THE KEYNOTE OF MY LIFE OF SERVICE TO THE CHURCH

In retrospect the keynote of my forty-seven years of active service to the church and twenty-five in active retirement is reflected in the Apostle Paul̓s admonition to Timothy: “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2: 15), first by example and then corporately with and for the church. Let us begin with papers designed to encourage the church in corporate study based on sound principles of exegesis.

Papers Related to Corporate Bible Study in the Church

Box 1 Folder A Biographical material. (Not included in the original collection).

Box 1 Folder B Original Collection Inventory. Inventory supplied by Cottrell. (28 pp., n.d.).

024000 Box 1 Folder 1 1. “The Bible Research Fellowship: A Pioneering Seventh-day Adventist Organization in Retrospect” (25 pp., 1978). Requested by Adventist Heritage for its 5:1 summer 1978 issue. Bible Research Fellowship (BRF) was the first professional organization of Adventist college religion teachers (1943-1952). At their 1940 quadrennial meeting in Takoma Park they voted to share the results of their study, and benefit from one another̓s constructive criticism. The Seminary was to take the initiative in forming such an organization, and annual dues of two dollars was collected from those present. The Seminary did nothing for three years, however, and in 1943 the religion teachers at Pacific Union College took the initiative in forming a local organization they called the Bible Research Fellowship, which met one Sabbath afternoon each month to hear and discuss one or more papers prepared by members of the group. Dr. L. L Caviness, teacher of biblical languages, was patter familias of the group and I the secretary. Hearing of BRF, one by one the other college religion faculties asked to participate and conduct their own monthly meetings- considering the same papers. Eventually other church leaders joined the Fellowship, including I 7 General Conference personnel, and world membership grew to 250. My complete collection of BRF papers is on file in the Heritage Room of the James E. W hite Memorial Library on the campus of Andrews University.

024001 Box 1 Folder 2 2. “The Bible Research Fellowship: Its History and Objectives” (12 pp., 1950). A paper read at the 1950 college religion teachers̓ quadrennial meeting at Pacific Union College, following which a vote of appreciation for the Fellowship was taken.

024002 Box 1 Folder 3 3. “The Bible Research Fellowship” (6 pp., 1951). Prepared for Ministry magazine. Included are excerpts from a number of appreciative members of the Fellowship in various positions of leadership.

024003 Box 1 Folder 4 4. “Facts About the Bible Research Fellowship” (21 pp., Dec 16, 1951). Lists topics considered and writers over a ten-year period. In defense of the Fellowship when criticized by the president of the

Page 4 of 39 General Conference, W . H. Branson.

024004 Box 1 Folder 5 5. “Let us Have An Associate Secretary for Biblical Research in the Ministerial Association” (6 pp., 1951). A brief paper, to be sure, but one that has had important results. In 1950 W . H. Branson as president of the General Conference wrote a letter to church leaders around the world warning them against the Bible Research Fellowship as a renegade organization because it operated independently of the General Conference around the world. Efforts on our part to explain and clarify proved fruitless. My ultimate solution to the problem was for the General Conference itself to conduct the work of the Fellowship, and thus on behalf of the Fellowship I made the proposal in this paper which I sent to three personal friends: L. E. Froom, retired founder of the Ministerial Association, R. A. Anderson, its incumbent director, and W . E. Read, head of the Defense Literature Committee, on behalf of the Fellowship. The mills of the gods grind slowly, but the 1952 Autumn (now Annual) Council voted the Biblical Research Committee into existence, with W . B. Read as chairperson and specific directions to continue the work of the Bible Research Fellowship. In view of my simultaneous transfer from Pacific Union College to the Review and Herald Publishing Association to edit the Bible Commentary I was voted a charter member.

024005 Box 1 Folder 6 6. “A Draft Proposal for an Adventist Institute of Biblical Studies” (30 pp., August 31, 1966). All GC committees are reconstituted following each GC session. This proved disastrous for the Biblical Research Committee because new members naturally wanted to go over again projects the committee had already completed. Continuity of membership was urgently needed. Following the 1966 GC session I presented this paper to newly elected President Robert H. Pierson. It went into effect in 1975 with BRC becoming BRI—an institute rather than a committee. Inasmuch as Pierson had been out of North America for 30 years I included a brief history of biblical research in the church during those years.

024006 Box 1 Folder 7 Empty Folder. 7. “Architects of Crisis: A Decade of Obscurantism” (40 pp., 1984). During his thirteen years as president of the General Conference, however, Elder Pierson set systematically about restoring the corporate Bible research of the church to its level at the time he left in 1936 for overseas duty. He repeatedly stated, on committees and in personal conversation, his policy that administrators and not Bible scholars be involved in making biblical and doctrinal decisions for the church. Implementing this policy, the 1969 Spring Meeting of the GC eliminated the Bible scholars of the church en masse from the Biblical Research Committee. Vigorous protests from the Seminary, however, averted implementation of this policy. Before the next meeting of BRC, however, he achieved a similar result by appointing a number of non-scholars to BRC. This paper reports thirty-one incidents over the years 1969 to I 979 in which Pierson was able to control BRC in harmony with his policy, which precipitated the misguided way in which the church related to Desmond Ford and W alter Rca at the close of the decade. This paper explores in considerable detail the way in which Gordon Hyde and Gerhart Hasel played significant roles in implementing Pierson̓s policy with respect to biblical studies. Official biblical study and theology of the church today are still under the control of the principles and policies they established.

024007 Box 1 Folder 8 8. “Bible Research and Theology in the Church” (28 pp., 1975). An up-to-date overview.

024008 Box 1 folder 9 9. “The Church and Bible Research: 1940-1975” (18 pp., 1975). A summary.

024009 Box 1 Folder 10 Empty Folder. 10. “Bible Research in the Church to 1977” (35 pp., 1 977). One of several similar papers during the 1960̓s and 1970̓s in an endeavor to alert the church to major changes taking place as a result of

Page 5 of 39 Elder Pierson̓s policies.

024010 Box 1 Folder 11 11. “A Perspective on Paranoia and Polarization in the Church” (7 pp., 1977).

024011 Box 1 Folder 12 12. “The Adventist Theological Society and Its Biblical Hermeneutic” (49 pp., 1992). A personal friend of mine and an ATS leader confided in me that the principal objective in forming ATS was preservation of Gerhart Hasel̓s influence on Adventist biblical hermeneutics when he was demoted from being dean of the Theological Seminary. This paper reviews the Pierson-Hyde-Hasel conspiracy in considerable detail, and analyzes his and the ATS hermeneutic.

024012 Box 1 Folder 13 13. “The Adventist Theological Society: Its Ethos and Hidden Agenda” (8 pp., 1991).

024013 Box 1 Folder 14 14. “The Adventist Theological Society and the Church” (7 pp., n.d.)

024014 Box 1 Folder 15 15. “The Untold Story of the Bible Commentary” (29 pp., 1985). Requested by Spectrum for its 16:3, Summer 1985 issue, pp.34-51. The article identifies the writers and their respective contributions.

024015 Box 1 Folder 16 Empty Folder. 16. “A Contextual-Linguistic Analysis of Daniel 7” (26 pp., 1963). A paper presented to the super- secret ad hoc GC Committee on Problems in the Book of Daniel. This committee was appointed by R. R. Figuhr and the GC Officers in response to a questionnaire I addressed to every college Bible teacher and others versed in Hebrew, who responded unanimously that there is no linguistic or contextual basis for the traditional Adventist interpretation of Daniel 8: 14. My complete file of the forty-five papers considered by the committee is on file in the General Conference Archives. Three papers mentioned in the official list never came before the committee. This committee met intermittently from 1961 to 1966, when it adjourned sine die without reaching a consensus

024016 Box 1 Folder 17 Empty Folder. 17. “A Hermeneutical Methodology for Daniel 8:9-14” (13 pp., 1964). Presented to the Committee on Problems in the Book of Daniel.

024017 Box 1 Folder 18 18. “Questions on Doctrine: A Historical-critical Evaluation.” (28 pp., 1991). This paper, presented following a 1989 reception for W alter R. Martin in Loma Linda, reviews the eighteen colloquia between Martin and Donald Grey Barnhouse in 1955-1956, in which they explored Adventist doctrine for a book on cults Martin was in the process of writing. The result was that Martin removed Adventists from his category of cult.

024018 Box 1 Folder 19 19. “Questions on Doctrine: Footnotes to History.” (10 pp., 1989). Background incidents in the preparation of Questions on Doctrine (QOD) for publication, my participation in the process, the storm of criticism that followed publication, and my role in the process of QOD going out of print.

024019 Box 1 Folder 20 20. “The Annual Council Statement on Methods of Bible Study” (5 pp., 1987). After the GC- appointed committee had completed its work, ATS-oriented BRI staff members added a preamble incorporating ATS concepts unacceptable to Adventist the majority of Adventist scholars.

Page 6 of 39 024020 Box 1 Folder 21 21. “An Evaluation of Certain Aspects of the Martin Articles” (32 pp., 1957). At the conclusion of the Martin-Bamhouse series of colloquia Martin decided to leave Adventiss out of his book on cults and to publish a separate book on Adventists. But he wanted an official book he could cite as evidence to classify us among evangelical Christians. In other words our book must come out before his. It was then decided to gather and unify our responses to his questions into book form. But we needed some idea of the form of his comments. Accordingly an editorial committee of three persons was appointed to prepare what became Questions on Doctrine. W anting some idea of the nature of his comments, the editorial committee asked me to review all that he and others had written on the subject in order to estimate the nature of his remarks. I read everything that had appeared in evangelical publications and summarized it in this paper.

024021 Box 1 Folder 22 22. “The Babylonish Captivity of the Seventh-day Adventist Church” (4 pp., 1957). A parody on the Martin-Barnhouse colloquia.

024022 Box 1 Folder 23 23. “History and Fatal Theology of the Branch Davidians” (5 pp., 1994).

024023 Box 1 Folder 24 24. “A Reliable Method of Bible Study” (23 pp., n.d.).

024024 Box 1 Folder 25 25. “An Evaluation of Dr. Gerhard Hasel̓s Hermeneutic” (4 pp., April, 1973). Every paper to be presented at the 1974 North American Bible Conferences was reviewed by BRI in advance. I took vigorous exception to a lengthy section of his paper in which he promoted a personal idea unacceptable to the committee as a whole, and in nine places ridiculed all who did not agree with him. Given the opportunity, he refused to make any changes. I requested the opportunity to spell out our objections, and prepared this paper which I read at our evening meeting. In view of the fact that he was to be presenter of the conference theme—biblical hermeneutics—it was important that changes be made. As a result he was required to delete the offensive section and all nine places where he ridiculed those who disagreed with him.

024025 Box 1 Folder 26 26. “Open and Closed Minds: A Quest for Reality and Understanding” (4 pp., n.d.).

024041 Box 1 Folder 39 39. “Hermeneutics: What Difference Does It Make?” (39 pp., 1995). Requested by the San Diego chapter of the Association of Adventist Forums.

024042 Box 1 Folder 40 40. “Principles of Biblical Interpretation” (30 pp., 1953). This paper was assigned by the newly established GC Biblical Research Committee, of which I was a member, as a guide for people submitting papers to the committee for consideration. Simultaneously an ad hoc GC Committee on Problems in Biblical Interpretation was meeting intermittently to consider some twenty-five Bible passages in which the newly published Revised Standard Version deprived Adventists of KJV proof texts considered important to the Adventist belief system. It was therefore considered appropriate to publish my article in the book Problems in Bible Translation, in which the ad hoc committee presented its report. Reading my paper prior to publication G. C. President W . H. Branson took exception to four hermeneutical procedures because he said they would disqualify him from studying the Bible, and he peremptorily rejected the paper. Ellen W hite specifically commends all four. Accordingly I added Ellen G. W hite comments throughout the paper.

024043 Box 2 Folder 1 41. “Historical Conditioning in the Bible and the Writings of Ellen White” (93 pp., 1971). W ritten on assignment for the Biblical Research Committee. Replete with illustrations of the human factor in the revelatory-recording process. Its emphasis on the human factor came as a surprise to many, one

Page 8 of 39 of whom complained “If I believed that I would not be a Seventh-day Adventist.” Accordingly, the following paper in which Ellen W hite concurs and adds other human factors in the revelatory- recording process.

A detailed account and evaluation the doctrinal crisis that split the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod in December1976. The series was based on several years of daily reports in Religious News Service, on extensive literature provided by the Synod, and personal interviews with David Preus, president of the Synod, and Dr.John Tietjen, president of Concordia Theological Seminary and leader of the schismatic group. I invited both to read and criticize each article prior to publication. The Evangelican Lutheran periodical Perspective reprinted the first five articles in a special edition with the comment that it was the best evaluation of the crisis to appear in print. (The sixth article focused on lessons Adventists could learn from the Missouri Synod experience.) My interest in the LCMS crisis was motivated by the fact that the same factors were at work in our church, but that the SDA theological climate did not permit open discussion of them. Article 6 of the series attempted, tactfully, to draw lessons for us Many thinking Adventists have told me that they got the point.

Applied Hermeneutics

This section consists of biblical hermeneutics applied to specific topics or passages of Scripture.

Page 11 of 39 024087 Box 4 Folder 1 82. “On Isaiah 7:14” (39 pp., 1953). My specific assignment for the committee Problems of Biblical Interpretation. See “Principles of Biblical Interpretation” above. Instead of the KJV “virgin” the RSV reads “young woman,” thereby calling in question the use of Isaiah 7:14 as a messianic prophecy and Matthew’s use of it as such.

024088 Box 4 Folder 2 83. “The Role of Israel in Old Testament Prophecy” (24 pp., 1955). During the process of editing volume 4 of the SDA Bible Commentary I suggested to Elder Nichol the need for such an article as a guide to the study of the Old Testament prophets, which have been subject to a plethora of weird interpretations. and he assigned me the task of writing the article which appears on pages 25 to 38 of volume 4. Drawing on a card file of more than five thousand classified entries compiled during the process of teaching the class Old Testament Prophets compiled while teaching the class Old Testament Prophets at Pacific Union College, I wrote the article that appears on pages 25-38 of volume 4. To this I added copious Spirit of Prophecy references so the reader would know that she approves my interpretation of Scripture. Elder Nichol accepted the article without changing a word but added the parenthetical caveat on page 38: (“This rule does not apply to those portions of Daniel that the prophet was hidden to “shut up” or “seal” or to other passages whose application Inspiration may have limited to our time.”)

024089 Box 4 Folder 3 Empty Folder. 84. “The Old Testament Perspective of Salvation History” ( l6pp., 1987). The Old Testament prophets represent Israel as remaining the covenant people and chosen instrument for the salvation of the world throughout history, with the eschaton occurring at or soon after the close of Old Testament times. Chapter 4 in The Eschatology of Daniel. This and the preceding document are closely related.

024090 Box 4 Folder 4 Empty Folder. 85. “The New Testament Perspective of Salvation History” (36 pp., 1 994). Nearly forty times the New Testament writers express the conviction that Christ would return “soon”--within their generation, in harmony with the Old Testament perspective of salvation history and with Christ̓s identification of the imminent fulfillment of Daniel̓s end-time prophecies. Chapter 12 of The Eschatology of Daniel.

024091 Box 4 Folder 5 86. “An Exegesis of 1 Corinthians 14” (51 pp., 1973). Prepared for the 1973 GC Charismatic Committee which convened at Camp Cumby Gay in Georgia and lasted one week. A thorough linguistic-contextual study leads to the conclusion that the tongue speaking at Corinth was charismatic, not a foreign language. The committee as a whole agreed despite Hasel’s insistence on it being a foreign language. As chairmen of the committee Gordon Hyde limited each person presenting a paper to thirty minutes, but gave Gerhard Hasel two full hours to present and defend his paper. W ith a sincere desire to fully understand the biblical hermeneutic on which Hasel based his conclusion, one noon hour I invited him to go with me on a long walk in the woods, during the course of which I discovered the basis for his hermeneutic, according to which he can come to a conclusion contradictory to the context. He assumes a theory of inspiration equivalent to verbal dictation, but avoids that term. On this basis he assumes, further, an overriding unity of Scripture according to which one passage may be read into another passage even though the context indicates otherwise. He reads the tongue speaking of Acts 2 (which he considers a clear passage) into 1 Corinthians 14, which he considers ambiguous despite the fact that context indicates otherwise.

024092 Box 4 Folder 6 87. “Law and Gospel in Paul̓s Letter to the Galatians” (36 pp., 1998). A reflection of my daily devotional series for the 1974 North American Bible Conference at Andrews University.

024097 Box 4 Folder 12 92. “Pioneer Views on Daniel 11 and Armageddon” (29 pp., 1948). It was popularly believed that Uriah Smith̓s book Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation presented the pioneer view that Daniel 11:45 refers to Turkey as king of the north and the battle of Armageddon in Revelation 16: 12 to a literal battle on the plain of Megiddo. Aware that the pioneers thought the papacy to be the king of the north and Armageddon a spiritual battle between the forces of good and evil, I made an exhaustive study of early Adventist literature on the subject, which formed the basis of this paper.

024098 Box 4 Folder 13 93. “Notes on Daniel 11 and Armageddon” (132 pp., 1951). In 1951 the GC Defense Literature Committee gave extended study to the battle of Armageddon. Its chair, W . E. Read, a personal friend, requested documents I had written on the subject. In response I compiled and prepared eleven bound copies of notes and papers on the subject, one for each member of the committee. Its published report (Ministry, March 1954, pp 22-27) cites this document and “Pioneer Views” and adopted their point of view.

024099 Box 4 Folder 14 94. “Minneapolis---1888” (18 pp., 1988). W ritten for the centennial celebration of the historic General Conference convened in Minneapolis in I 888.

024101 Box 4 Folder 16 Empty Folder. 96. “Daniel 8:14, Ellen G. White, and Sola Scriptura” (27 pp. 2000). A paper designed for and sent to Jan Paulsen and perhaps thirty others in November 2000. with the objective of identifying the problems in the traditional interpretation of Daniel 8:14 and creating an interest on the part of church leaders in finding a solution to them. Courteous replies but apparently no interest. Paulsen gave his copy to Angel Rodriguez, director of the (3 Bible Research Institute in mind, to evaluate and said that his reply would serve as his reply too. Probably with the 1980̓s six volume Daniel and Revelation Committee report in mind Rodriguez replied that the GC had already studied and responded to all of the problems. I secured and studied the six volumes carefully only to find that they did not consider any of the problems to which my paper had called attention.

024102 Box 4 Folder 17 Empty Folder. 97. “A Contextual Exegesis of Daniel 8:14” (22 pp., 2001). This paper was designed to spell out in greater detail the fact that the context precludes the traditional interpretation.
