Dear Folk,
What are the best biblical and systematic theology resources that consider Seventh-day Adventist perspectives?
Thanks,
Mike
I'm probably the wrong person to answer this question as I'm not SDA. There are some users on here who may be able to chime in. Just for the sake of clarity, when you say "consider SDA perspectives" do you mean written from an SDA perspective? If you're looking for systematic/biblical theologies written by Adventists, I don't know of many (contemporary ones at least). There is: Questions on Doctrine which if I recall correctly, was written in response to Walter Martin's Kingdom of the Cults. I'm not absolutely certain, but I believe it's seen as authoritative still (maybe an Adventist can correct me if I'm wrong there). Interestingly, the early editions of Martin's work were very critical. If memory serves, he changed his position overtime and revised that section of the book. There's a series of old John Ankerberg episodes with Martin and Adventist leaders and I can't help but think that those discussions made him soften his stance a bit. Additionally, Perplexing Doctrinal Questions Answered may be of interest to you. Exploring the Heavenly Sanctuary: Understanding Seventh-day Adventist Theology may also be something you want to check out. I would personally encourage you to be mindful of publication dates depending on what you're trying to get out of it though. If you're looking for historic theological resources, many can be found in the cheaper SDA packages, the contemporary stuff may cost a bit though.
Dear Frank,
I'm familiar with the above resources. I meant CONSIDER SDA perspectives in their discussions, not necessarily written from SDA perspectives. Some of the resources I've looked at by looking at the Table of Contents, etc., don't even mention SDA views. Since there are not many real biblical/systematic theologies from an SDA perspective in Logos, I wondered what other theologies might ably discuss topics including a mention of SDA perspectives. At least, what theologies might be broad, thorough, and biblical on topics that SDAs have the same or similar perspectives as others.
A majority of what you'll find on Logos is broadly evangelical. Most of what you're likely to find within the Logos catalog is going to be critical of SDA theology and only interact with it through that lens. The exception would be what you find in the SDA libraries and to some degree more academic works. I mean I would venture to say that most systematic and biblical theologians consider SDA theology to some degree, but you'd have to define what you consider as considering.

Suddenly all of John chapters 7 through 10 are highlighted in Logos and I can't figure out why. I don't use any visual filter tools (I don't even know what they are, but when I google my question that is what comes up). Why does this happen and how can I get it to stop?
I am having difficulty finding books in my library that I have purchased. !) What's an easy way to do that? 2) Can I bring my books to the top of the list?
My question is for everyone: I have used my New American Standard Bible for over 25 years. I am looking for a Chronological Bible that is New American Standard. This is the version that my pastor tells me gets pretty darn close to Greek and Hebrew. English version please, I can only get closer by learning the language. I…
I am trying to locate a Chronological NASB Bible within LOGOS
I preach with sparse notes in document type "Sermon" in a split screen with the Bible on the top half. Using my tablet. There are verses on it for links and a few points. I never use any "presentation" functions. Would it be better to simple use "Notes" function instead?
