Little did she know, the script would help save someone’s life that night. “I was feeling hurried and impatient as I answered yet another phone call with the standardized, ‘Good evening, Emergency room admitting ... This is Erika. How may I help you?’” says Rootvik. “The woman asked if Dr. Underhill was on duty that evening. When he wasn’t, she replied with obvious disappointment. I asked if she wanted to leave him a message, but she declined,” Rootvik recalls. “Something about this woman’s voice piqued my interest and so when I asked the scripted question, ‘Is there anything else I can do for you?’ there was nothing scripted about it. I was asking with true sincerity.” Her response made time stand still in that small Emergency room at Walla Walla General Hospital, “I just wanted to thank him for being such a good doctor to me. ...

  • It Is Written
    John Bradshaw, speaker-director. Photo from ItIsWritten.com It is Written GREG HUDSON Greg Hudson, D.Min. (Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan), is the senior pastor of the Georgia-Cumberland Academy church in Calhoun, Georgia. He has worked as a registered nurse, and served as a pastor and academy chaplain in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Georgia. It Is Written, a Seventh-day Adventist television ministry founded by George Vandeman, began a weekly broadcast in selected American cities in 1956 and has since extended its reach throughout the world. The first religious television program to broadcast in color, It Is Written has innovated methods of using mass media technologies to augment local evangelism throughout its history. The Emergence of Adventist Television Ministry (1939-1955) The Adventist church became involved in television ministry in 1949, a decade after the televising of the New York World’s Fair in 1939 demonstrated the potential of this new medium.1 After the end of World War II in 1945, as more and more Americans acquired television sets, Adventists saw both its dangers as an immoral influence and its great potential in reaching large numbers of people with the message of Jesus.2 The success demonstrated by the Voice of Prophecy radio broadcast, helped prepare Adventists to recognize the evangelistic potential of modern media. R. H. Libby, J. L. Tucker, and W. A. Fagal pioneered the Adventist use of television as a means of evangelism. On the west coast Tucker started airing The Quiet Hour in 1949.3 In November of that same year, R. H. Libby started airing A Faith to Live By in Baltimore, generating much interest and hundreds of Bible studies, despite working with no budget, no music director, and no musicians.4 Soon another program, Heralds of Hope, with evangelist Robert L.

  • Mystery of Creation in Rabbinic Literature
    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 21/1-2 (2010):3-13. Article copyright © 2010 by Alexander Bolotnikov. By Faith or by Knowledge: Mystery of Creation in Rabbinic Literature Alexander Bolotnikov Director, Shalom Learning Center Cincinnati, Ohio During the last half of the 20th century many scholars have recognized the differences between Hebrew and Greek thinking.1 The problem of the origin of this world serves as the best example that illustrates the clash between the Hellenistic and Jewish mentalities. Greek natural philosophers were the first physicists that attempted to resolve the problem of the origins of the universe. They attempted to search for the beginning of every matter and substance. Using their sophisticated creative thinking Greeks produced multiple hypotheses trying to describe and explain the origins of the visible world.2 For example Thales (ca. 624-547 BC) believed that the beginning of everything was water. He taught that all things arose from water and will turn into water. A century later Heraclitus (ca. 530-470 BC) taught that the fire represents a primeval substance, from which all other things arise through thickening and dilution of the fire.3 The fundamental advancement in the Greeks’ worldview arose with the introduction of the concept of ‘matter.’ The founding fathers of the Ancient Greek atomistic 1 For a detailed discussion see Thorief Boman, Hebrew Thought Compared with Greek (New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 1960). 2 Ferdinand Rosenberger, Geschuchte der Physik in Grundzugen (Braunschweig: Vieweg und Sohn, 1882), 3. 3 For a detailed historical account of the development of the physical sciences see Mario Gliozzi, Storia della Fisica, in Storia delle Scienze, v.
