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.

I have a morning and evening sermon each Sunday. Sermon Manager always lists them in reverse order as I scroll down through the dates, showing the evening sermon before the morning sermon for each Sunday, because the time is listed in standard format rather than 24-hour format. Is there a way to show the sermons in…
In Sermon Builder, what I am typing is suddenly a much smaller font, and the spacing between lines has doubled. I do not see a way to fix this. It was previously formatted differently until the most recent update. It is probably something simple I am overlooking. Any help would be appreciated!
Hi there, the smart search is a little odd. I was looking for references to, "be strong in the might of His power" , "act like men" that kind of thing. I tried the smart search on the dashboard and it didn't know what I meant because it wasn't in the form of a question? It just made a new tab and asked if it could help me.…
I did an export of my books today and noticed books I bought today the commentary Word Biblical Commentary all of them say temporary licensing. There are several others that say the same so wondering why when they were purchased. Can someone please advise. I sent the same question to customer support but have not heard…
I am pretty new to using the tools in Logos. I want to conduct a word search within a particular book of the Bible to see if there is any theme or repetition. What is the best tool and how do you use it? Thanks for helping this "old dog, learn new tricks." RW
