Introduction Chapter 1 Notes INTRODUCTION 1. Human rights were closely tied in ancient Greece to the premodern natural law doctrines found in Greek Stoicism. See the classic example of Antigone who defended her defying of Creon's command by asserting that she acted in accordance with the immutable laws of the gods. Roman law may similarly be seen to have allowed for the existence of a natural law in the jus gentium ('law of nations'). According to the Roman jurist Ulpian, natural law was that which nature assures to all human beings, not the state. 2. Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man (1971), 8th edition, pp. 47-8. 3. Philosophers who wrote extensively on aspects of human rights include John Locke, Thomas Paine, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Rousseau, and later John Stuart Mill. At the level of practice, one can see the idea not only in theory but also in constitutional innovations such as the Magna Carta (1215), the Petition of Right (1628) and the Bill of Rights (1689) in England, the Declaration of Independence (1776) in the United States of America, and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen (1789) in France. 4. About the preparatory stages of the text of the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and its origin and significance see: United Nations, Secretary-General, Preparatory Study Concerning a Draft Declaration on the Right and Duties of States (1948); Nehemiah Robinson, The Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Its Origin, Significance, Application, and Interpretation (1958); and United Nations General Assembly, The International Bill of Human Rights: Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and Optional Protocol (Ottawa: Human Rights Program, 1980; orig­ inally published in New York: United Nations, Office of Public Information, 1978). 5.

Janice Daffern wrote in 1986 about the Disappointment of Advent believers in 1844 and how it psychologically and sociologically must affect modern Seventh-day Adventists: Because we survived that winter of 1844-45, confused and uncertain about what God was really saying to us, we can share in the painful doubts of those who sometimes do not hear His voice in the tones of triumph.... But the people of the disappointment will reach out to those who bear the signs of human brokenness. Communities of disappointment are our communities: the native Americans whose land became the place of someone else's kingdom-building; the black Americans whose labor built the empire but were systemati­ cally excluded from sharing in the fruits of their labor; and refugees who have sacrificed family connections and the comfort of home for an apocalyptic dream of America - only to become families with a father who drives a taxi, a mother with two jobs and children who quickly pick up disruptive American values. Celebrating the Advent hope, while forgetting the disappointment, permits a shallow optimism about ourselves and a blindness to those around us. We must continue to wait in hopeful anticipation but remember that like the Lord who was himself hungry and thirsty, a stranger and a prisoner, we are the disappointed.

Though it is God who changes people, the early Adventists employed specific spiritual practices to place themselves in His presence. Research revealed five main spiritual disciplines that shaped the Advent leaders and by extension the church. The first is Bible study: placing the Holy Scriptures as the foundation for all beliefs. The second is prayer: communication and communion with God.

A Radio Program on the way to the 1955/1956 Evangelical Meetings with the Adventists. a. Donald Grey Barnhouse (March 28, 1895 – November 5, 1960), Editor of Eternity Magazine (1950) and pastor of the Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 1927 to his death in 1960. As a pioneer in radio broadcasting, his program, The Bible Study Hour, continues today and is now known as Dr. Barnhouse & the Bible. b. Walter Ralston Martin (September 10, 1928 – June 26, 1989), was an American Baptist Christian minister and author who founded the Christian Research Institute in 1960 as a para-church ministry specializing as a clearing-house of information in both general Christian apologetics and in counter-cult apologetics. As the author of the influential The Kingdom of the Cults (1965), he has been dubbed the "godfather of the anti-cult movement". c. T. E. Unruh ( ) When these events took place, Unruh was president of the East Pennsylvania Conference. He was driving home listening to Barnhouse’s program on his car radio. He was speaking on Righteousness by Faith from the book of Romans. Unruh wrote him a letter on Nov. 28, 1949 to compliment him and express how much he had enjoyed the program. 2.

  • Seventh-Day Adventism, Doctrinal Statements, and Unity
    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 27/1-2 (2016): 98-116. Article copyright © 2016 by Michael W. Campbell. Seventh-day Adventism, Doctrinal Statements, and Unity Michael W. Campbell Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies Cavite, Philippines 1. Introduction “All Christians engage in confessional synthesis,” wrote theologian Carl R. Trueman.1 Some religious groups adhere to a public confession of faith as subject to public scrutiny whereas others are immune to such scrutiny. Early Seventh-day Adventists, with strong ties to the Christian Connexion, feared lest the creation of a statement of beliefs so that some at some point may disagree with that statement may at some point be excluded.2 Another danger was that statements of belief might be used to present making new discoveries from Scripture, or afterward a new truth might be stifled by appealing to the authority of an already established creed. From the perspective of early Sabbatarian Adventists, some remembered the time when during the Millerite revival that statements of belief were used to exclude them from church fellowship.3 These fears were aptly expressed during the earliest organizational developments in 1861 of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. According to denominational co-founder, James White: “making a creed is setting the stakes, and barring up the way to all future advancement. The Bible is 1 Carl R.

    founders of the Seventh-dayAdventist denomination,' and as a 'pioneer of the pioneers' among the shapers of Sabbatarian Adventism"' (ix). In the book from which these words are taken, Dick elaborated further on Bates's key role. His critical contributions were "maturity, good health, natural leadership, and prestige. He had successfully commanded all manner of men for two decades. He had been one of the recognized outstanding leaders of the 1844 movement." Actually, "he was, in effect, the fast general conference executive in that he was chairman of the general conferences regularlyH (Founders ofthe Menage Washington, DC: Review and Herald, 19381, 150). Ellen White does not address the issue of Bates's leadership role in founding the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The researcher d search in vain through her voluminous writings for evaluative statements concerning Bates that would lend any sigmficant support to Knight's analysis. Kmght's pointed reaction to this clear lack of support for his thesis is provocative: "On a more personal level are the evaluations of the Whites, the two individuals who with Bates founded the Seventh-day Adventist Church," Knight has written in the concludmg section of his work. "Ellen White was quite parsimonious in her remembrances . [while] James was a little more effusive" (209). If I may suggest an agenda item for the next edition of this valuable work, it would involveJoseph Bates as a case study in the positive utilization of power, based on sound character developed during his years of command at sea when, as captain, he possessed perhaps the ultimate of almost unlimited power over the men under him.
