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.
The spell check function still does not work in my Sermon documents. I am running Logos Pro 45.1.2. It seems like it has been fixed for others, why is it still not working for me? Thank-you.
Hi everyone, I currently have the 2025 Verbum Diamond Library, and I’m interested in moving up to the Portfolio Library. Does anyone know if there’s an upgrade option available for a nominal cost, or would I need to purchase the entire Portfolio package at full price? Thanks in advance for your help!
I'm working on a Bible translation. It's stored in USFM format (Paratext). What's the simplest way to get that into Logos as a personal book? As far as I can see, Logos only accepts .docx files.
Typically as I read and reread a passage and take notes , the notes are in disarray. Is there a way to rearrange the notes in an order that will reflect the order that I want to present them to my class? Thanks, Tom
I just downloaded a bunch of translations in different languages. However, for 90% of them, it is basically impossible to know what I own since the language is listed so oddly. Really all the Bibles were like this, but as an example, the NT in the language "Borna" is categorized by Logos as the language "bwo" on the…
