The com- pletion of this volume, through its multiple stages of preparation and refinement, has been a collaborative effort. I have been blessed to have been a part of this collaboration. The purpose of this project is simple. In writing these essays each author wishes to offer a tangible expression of appreciation and gratitude to those professors who have invested their time in teaching them the value of studying Scripture. Each one of the professors represented has greatly influenced the authors’ understanding of the Biblical text, and for this they are forever indebted to them. This festschrift recognizes the scholarship of the following professors: Drs. Richard M. Davidson, Jiří Moskala, Roy Gane, Ranko Stefanović, Paul Gregor, and Thomas Shepherd. It is impossible to acknowledge all of those who have assisted me in this project. However, first and foremost, I would like to thank Dr. Jiří Moskala for his constant support and encouragement, without which this project would never have been initiated. Next, I would like to thank all of the contributors who have invested their time and talent. I am grateful for their patience and persistence. I am also indebted to my colleague Laura Morrow for proofreading most of the essays and offering her insights as well. The expertise of Averil and Dr. Laren Kurtz in performing the final proofreading and copy-editing is inestimable. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the initial editing of Dr. Riemar Vetne and his substantial suggestions for some papers. Additionally, I would like to offer a special word of thanks to Amy Rhodes for formatting the book, Adelina Alexe for taking photos for the cover pages, Jan and Leanne Sigvartsen

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.

  • Typology and Adventist Eschatological Identity: Friend Or Foe?
    Andrews University Seminary Student Journal , Vol. 1, No. 1, 43-64. Copyright © 2015 Erick Mendieta. TYPOLOGY AND ADVENTIST ESCHATOLOGICAL IDENTITY: FRIEND OR FOE? Erick Mendieta Ph.D. Candidate in Old Testament (Andrews University) [email protected] Abstract For Seventh-day Adventists the significance of typology is not only a matter of historical research. Davidson has rightly argued that “the historic Adventist interpretation of the sanctuary … stands or falls depending upon the validity of its hermeneutic method.” This study tries to show that in Seventh-day Adventism typology has proven to be a defining force in theology, thinking, and at times even in practice. Since typology’s first appearance in early Adventism, it has provided assistance to the understanding of Scripture but has also been the source of much misunderstanding. The need to explore its nature, characteristics, and application has been an ongoing concern for Adventism and it must continue to be so. Keywords: typology, literalistic interpretation, Adventist hermeneutics. Typology in Christianity Since the work of Leonard Goppelt, who produced the first comprehensive survey of New Testament typology from a modern historical perspective, the scholarly community and the Christian Church have studied typology with renewed interest from different angles, especially with regard to discussions on the use of the Hebrew Bible (HB) in the New Testament. 1 The importance of Biblical typology for the traditional and historical Christian understanding of the relationship of the HB and New Testament cannot be overstated. 2 However, the value of a typological approach, as the history of biblical interpretation shows, does not come without the possibility of misuse.

  • The Necessity of Scripture
    TMSJ 15/2 (Fall 2004) 151-164 THE NECESSITY OF SCRIPTURE William D. Barrick Professor of Old Testament Scripture is necessary because God willed to provide it and because mankind’s condition required it. The image of God in man requires communication between God and human beings. God’s incomprehensibility is another reason for the necessity of Scripture. Natural revelation’s insufficiency to teach the nature of God makes Scripture indispensable. The complexity of divine truth would have eventually required a written revelation even for Adam had he remained in his unfallen state. The fall of man made comprehension of divine truth in an oral form impossible, because corrupt mankind is always prone to distort what is oral. God’s special revelation had to be in written form. The work of God also makes written Scripture a necessity, since Scripture is the means that God has chosen to do His work in human lives. Without Scripture much would be left undone. There can be no question that Scripture is necessary. * * * * * Introduction Lord Byron (1788-1824), the great British Romantic poet, presented his publisher John Murray with a handsomely bound Bible containing a flattering inscription. Understandably, Murray was favorably impressed and placed it on a table where his guests would see it. Eventually a visitor admired the book enough to pick it up and thumb through it. While doing so, he noted an alteration of the text at John 18:40. In the sentence “Now Barabbas was a robber,” Lord Byron had deleted “robber” and substituted the word “publisher.” Byron’s purpose in giving the Bible had finally come to light.

  • The Best Is Yet to Come: a Vision for The
    “The Best Is Yet to Come: A Vision for the Eschatological Remnant”1 An Article for Publication in the Journal of the Adventist Theological Society Submitted March 31, 2007 by Jon Paulien Introduction One of the central texts for Adventist self-understanding is Rev 12:17. I translate this text from the Greek as follows: “And the dragon was angry with the woman, and he went away to make war with the remnant of her seed, those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus.” Seventh-day Adventists through the years have come to identify themselves with the remnant described in this text. They understand themselves to be a people that God has raised up at the end of time who keep His commandments and have the “testimony of Jesus.” But this traditional position has been losing ground in recent years. Increasing numbers of Seventh-day Adventists are unconvinced that the text can be focused so narrowly on a specific denomination and its beliefs at the end of time.2 And outreach efforts in the post-modern context 1I want to express considerable debt to an unpublished paper on this subject by Angel Rodriguez: Angel Rodriguez, “The Remnant in Contemporary Adventist Thinking,” a paper distributed to the Biblical Research Institute Committee of the General Conference of Sevneth- day Adventists, Andrews University, April, 2004. Rodriguez and I came independently upon the concept of a three-fold remnant and its implications for the remnant in Revelation. But his work has been very helpful to mine and I owe him a great deal.
