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'd love for Devotionals to appear as one of the Groups in the Passage guide. Is there a way to get them to appear?
Overnight I was charged for the updates to the Master Journal Library and Galaxie’s Theological Journal Library, vols. 1–28. The MJL downloaded the new resources, but nothing came down from Galaxie; it was supposed to be the list below. Did anyone get these, meaning my system needs a jolt to get the downloads going, or was…
My Greek NT SBL is blacked out whenever I open it on my iPad. I used it every day. It has preciously blacked out, but then I could close the app, open it again, and it would be back. It has not helped this time. On my iPhone it pops right up. Does anyone know why this would occur and how to fix it?
I own Aristotle's Poetic in various editions. Leading with the Perseus Classic (middle), I can add the Greek parallel text. The same when leading with GBWW (right). But when I start with the Greek text, there is no option for parallel Texts. Why?
I know there is talk about re-vamping Notes, and I am sure it is not officially decided what will be changed or not. However, I am hoping I can perhaps get clarity about how references are added. I specifically have two questions: First, if I have 30 references I need to add to a note, will I still need to add them one at…
