What are the key experiences that have defined the traditional Seventh-day Adventist approach to hermeneutics?Veteran Seventh-day Adventist theologian and philosopher Edward W. H. Vick provides a brief answer to this question in this short book, with only 64 pages of text. Tracing the way interpretation was done starting with the Millerite movement in the 1840s, and working through the influence of Ellen G. White and others, Vick suggests that the hermeneutic used was self-confirming. Each apparent problem solved resulted in further faith in the method.As a result, among traditional Adventists, hermeneutics has taken a particular shape which locks in this set of doctrines, and the doctrines, in turn, uphold the hermeneutic.This book will be especially helpful to Seventh-day Adventists who want to communicate with biblical scholars and theologians outside of their community. It will be of help to those who are not Adventists in understanding the nature and tenacity of SDA hermeneutics.

That’s a good message but can we put some muscle into it?With the help of Dr. Robert D. Cornwall and his new study guide on the Letters of John in the Participatory Study Series, we certainly can! Cornwall guides us through a historical, theological and practical study of these three little letters, taking 1st century material, helping us understand it clearly, and applying it to our daily lives in the 21st century.Besides its value in studying these books, this guide provides a model for a successful small group or individual study of any Bible passage. Each lesson includes readings, questions, exercises, and a suggested prayer in closing helping to bring the application home.This study is useful for individuals and small groups, but can also be valuable in planning a sermon series.

Can faith and science work together? How?Science and religion have done most to shape our lives in the modern West.

In Religion and Science: An Exploration, the author indicates in a sensible and uncomplicated manner that there is a working relationship but that it is something that must be searched for if it is to be achieved. The result is a book that deals with a most importat issue with impartiality.This book is primarily aimed at those who want to integrate their understanding of science with their understanding of faith.

The words of Scripture are both inspired and inspiring. Too often, as we defend the former, we forget the latter. We read Scripture to absorb facts, settle doctrinal disputes, and organize church life.In Reflections on Scripture, Dandelions, and Sparrows, Wanda Thompson brings the power of photography, art, and poetry to our experience of Scripture, and through it, the God of Scripture. Using stunning photography, graphite drawings, and watercolors, she brings us into closer touch with the God whose eye is on the sparrow, who created dandelions, and who wants to be in fellowship with us.This book is a beautiful, and yes, a fun experience. At the same time, it will lead to deeper reflection on our Creator. You’ll find yourself coming back to these images and the verses that accompany them again and again.This is the Urdu edition.

Christian apologetics suffers from a reputation for loud arguments, canned answers, and a fascination with technical details. Some Christians avoid apologetics because they are either concerned about offending people, or because they are afraid they will be unable to answer technical questions.These concerns and fears are unnecessary. Elgin Hushbeck, Jr., unapologetic Christian apologist points the way toward a Christian witness that is positive, and is possible for everyone. In fact, Hushbeck maintains, all Christians testify to their faith, simply by bearing the name "Christian" and living. By emphasizing listening, respect, and most importantly, a realization that the fruit of our endeavors are God's responsibility, he invites all of us to apologetics that is centered in our own testimony and in building genuine relationships.This is a short but powerful book. It will help you approach your witness without fear or worry. Anyone can read the book quickly. It won't give you all the answers, but it will reassure you that you don't need all the answers. Nobody else has all the answers either. But what you can do is pursue conversations and depend on relationships within the church to help you. "I don't know," is a valid answer.This is a book for every Christian, but it will be especially helpful to those who teach in the church. Have a few copies on hand, and when people ask you how they can be a witness, hand them a copy. It's a short read, but it can change forever how each person carries out the gospel commission.
