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've had a setup where several resources are linked (set A), but now I'm seeing some of the resources not move or perhaps not update as the bible resource shifts to different verses. This has always worked before, so I'm not sure what is happening now. The commentaries are not staying aligned with the biblical text as I…
Wow! I just spotted Ctrl+Shift+M as the keyboard shortcut for Add parallel text under the View toolbar. When did that get added? This was honestly my most hated thing about the dynamic toolbar and how inconvenient it became after we lost the handy little button we used to have in Logos 10. Now that Ctrl+Shift+M is…

Just curious (hesitantly, as that often “kills the cat”) about how certain morphological tags get assigned in logos. Very soon beginning students of biblical Hebrew are introduced to the possible confusion of )Et [or )et-] 1, direct object marker[D.O.M.]/often left untranslated, sometimes considered an emphatic particle…
I am brand new to Logos on Windows (switching over from E-Sword) but very experienced in Proclaim. One of the benefits of Logos is that I can make slides right from the sermon writing tool (The Text Editor). I use a lot of scripture when I preach, so it is a bit of a burden on my AV team. I want to use the design that was…
