Iuorno GUERRAS, BESTIAS & DEBATES La Singularidad de la Evangelizacion Profetico-Doctrinal en la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día Edgardo D. luorno Paraná, Entre Ríos 2019 GUERRAS, BESTIAS & DEBATES PREFACIO Si el mensaje adventista es singular, la evangelización cuyo contenido es este mensaje también debe serlo. Y si la razón de ser del adventismo se encuentra expresada en Apocalipsis 10:11, entonces su predicación debe tener un claro sesgo profético y doctrinal. En este libro, en consecuencia, se estudian los rasgos proféticos y doctrinales de la evangelización pública adventista, atendiendo a tres aspectos importantes de su desarrollo histórico: la presentación de los imperios o bestias de la profecía, los debates doctrinales sobre asuntos controvertidos de la teología bíblica, y el tratamiento de las guerras del mundo como señales de un tiempo solemne. Al recorrer esta investigación el lector advertirá la manera en la que Dios guió a su iglesia remanente a la presentación masiva y atractiva de un mensaje impopular pero trascendente. La misma sabiduría de los obreros de antaño se requiere entre aquellos que anuncian la misma esperanza hoy. 2 GUERRAS, BESTIAS & DEBATES CONTENIDO LA EVANGELIZACIÓN PROFÉTICA TEMPRANA EN LA IASD..................................................................................... 11 Panorama General Del Evangelismo Adventista.................. 11 Elena De White Estimula

  • Passion, Purpose & Power
    JAMES R. NIX Recapturing the Spirit of the Adventist Pioneers Today Reminds us of the past and revives the same spirit of commitment and sacrifice evident in the Adventist pioneers in ministry leaders and disciples today! No matter what age we are, or what age we are in, the idea of sitting at the feet of someone who is telling a story brings back feelings of childhood awe, trust, and expectation. This book is an invitation to all ages, to sit and listen as these stories—told by the Adventist pioneers themselves—paint a picture of real people and their lives. These are stories of total commitment and incredible sacrifices that only a passion for Jesus, a dedication to His purposes, and the power of the Holy Spirit can generate! Draw close to the fireside of this second (updated and expanded) edition, and find yourself aglow with inspiration. Come, listen, and you might just hear the God of the pioneers call your name, sense a revival in your heart, and feel a renewed sense of mission in your life—one that draws from you a similar spirit of sacrifice and commitment! “We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history.” —General Conference Bulletin, Jan. 29, 1893.

  • Mission, Structure, and Function
    Mission, Structure, and Function: An Analysis of Organizational Unity and Mission Particularity in the North American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church by Leslie N. Pollard, Ph.D, D.Min, MBA President, Oakwood University November 18, 2014 This paper is an open invitation for theologians to join this conversation. One frequently overlooked aspect of SDA ecclesiological conversation concerns structuring communities for mission. I suppose that it would be natural that we who are administrative theologians to think about these things! We wrestle with the theological implications of operating mission and business units for the church on a daily basis. But the question of structure has broader importance, because we can argue that ecclesial structuration, the process of creating structures, serves as a tangible expression of a community’s self-understanding, as well as it core mission. In its “diakonia” to the world, the church actively discloses its understanding of God’s kingdom and God’s community. This paper is intended is intended to provide a reflective examination of the ecclesiastical structures existing in the North American Division1 of Seventh-day Adventists (hereafter, NAD) officially designated as “Regional Conferences.”2 The ecclesiological implications of such structuring holds significant implications for SDA missiology and ecclesiology. If, across the chronological span of the Christian Church, from its founding to its finality, structuring is seen to have advanced its mission, the question arises as to the limits and 1The North American Division is one of 13 world divisions of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. It consists of Bermuda, Canada, the French possession of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, the United States of America, Johnston Island, Midway Islands, and all other islands of the Pacific not attached to the other 12 divisions.

The original pagination has been maintained, despite the resulting odd page breaks, for ease of scholarly citation. However, scholars quoting this article should use the print version or give the URL.] Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 5/2 (Autumn 1994): 1-5. Article copyright © 1994 by E. Edward Zinke. The President’s Page: Tribute in Honor of Gerhard F. Hasel E. Edward Zinke Silver Spring, Maryland Dr. Gerhard F. Hasel died Thursday afternoon, August 11, in an automobile accident near Ogden, Utah. He was returning in a rented automobile to his mo- tel where he was scheduled to participate in the annual meetings of the Biblical Research Institute Science Committee (BRISCO) when he was killed. At the time of his death Dr. Hasel was the J. N. Andrews Professor of Old Testament and Biblical Theology and the Director of the Ph.D./Th.D. programs at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary in Berrien Springs, Michi- gan. Many considered Dr. Hasel the foremost theologian in the church today, an opinion that I fully share. Since JATS plans a future memorial issue in honor of Dr. Hasel, I will just note that in addition to being a past President of ATS and its current vice-president for publications, Gerhard Hasel was my personal friend. Therefore, I would like to share with our readers a few of my personal thoughts about my dear friend, Gerhard, that it was my privilege to share with his family and friends at the funeral service in Berrien Springs: On August 16th, I came off the trail into the valley floor of Yosemite Na- tional Park.

  • 129 the Relationship Between Old and New Testament
    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT: A STUDY ON CONTEMPORARY DEBATE OF METHODOLOGY OF THE OLD TESTAMENT THEOLOGY Made Astika [email protected] ABSTRACT From the beginning of the discipline, biblical theologians have differed in their understandings of an accredited basis, task, and method for doing biblical theology. In accordance with the existing problems, the purpose of writing this paper are: In accordance with the existingproblems, the main motive and purposes of writing this research are: First of all, to show the continuity of the relation between the Old Testament and ew Testament. Secondly, to explain methodology in doing Old Testament Theology through the investigation of historical and biblical understanding. Finally, to call and challenge every leader and church congregation together to analyze methodology of biblical theology in order to develop the proper methodology in doing Old Testament Theology. The conclutions are: The relationship between the Old Covenant and the ew can be presented as follows: God has only one covenant of grace, and only one eternal people - in which a person obtains a share through faith in Christ alone, the Covenant Head and the Adam of the new humanity. Herein lies the unity of God(s eternal plan of salvation, and of the )ord as His special revelation to man. It must be put in mind that the God of the Old Testament is also the God of the ew Testament. It should be clear that the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ is the same God who created man and woman, who established marriage, and who redeemed Israel through the ,xodus, foreshadowing the redemption of believers through Christ.
