Welcome To The Twelfth Annual

SEMINARY SCHOLARSHIP
SYMPOSIUM
“Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessa-
lonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the
Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true” (Acts 17:11 TNIV; empha-
sis supplied). The Bereans set an example of diligent study of the Holy Scrip-
tures. They wanted to know the exact meaning of the Sacred Writings, its truths,
and relevancy. The examination of the Scriptures involves very careful and deep
searching with a passion to discover the truth about the triune God and its cen-
tral message about the Lord Jesus Christ (John 5:39–40; Luke 24:27). This knowl-
edge brings eternal life (John 17:3).
Our professors do thorough research to unlock the richness of the biblical
message, the mystery of godliness (1 Tim 3:16; Eph 6:19; Col 1:27), but also the
mystery of wickedness (2 Thess 2:7). They publish to help the worldwide Church
to better understand the Scriptures. An understanding of God’s revelation brings
freedom (John 8:32) and leads to a total commitment to God to live a pious life in
faith and good works (2 Tim 3:15–17; Eph 2:10; Titus 2:11–13).
Research and scholarship are a crucial part of students’ and professors’ lives
here at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary. This year’s collection
of scholarly activities is very rich and reveals the depth and breadth of our work
here at the Seminary. Theology and church belong together. One cannot do bibli-
cal theology without the church.
This symposium on scholarship strives to foster a culture of excellence in
scholarly activities and to advance the quest for truth. Ellen G. White encourag-
es: “As we take up the study of God’s word, we should do so with humble hearts.
All selishness, all love of originality, should be laid aside. Long-cherished opin-
ions must not be regarded as infallible . . . We have many lessons to learn, and
many, many to unlearn. God and heaven alone are infallible. Those who think
that they will never have to give up a cherished view, never have occasion to
change an opinion, will be disappointed. As long as we hold to our own ideas
and opinions with determined persistency, we cannot have the unity for which
Christ prayed . . . Whatever may be man’s intellectual advancement, let him not
for a moment think that there is no need of thorough and continuous searching
of the Scriptures for greater light” (Counsels to Writers and Editors [Nashville,
Tenn.: Southern Publishing, 1946], 36–37, 41).

This year our plenary speaker is Dr. Jon Paulien, dean, Loma Linda Univer-
sity School of Religion. We welcome him to our campus and look forward to his
presentations.
A variety of events are planned for this week from the recognition assembly
on Tuesday morning to the Thursday morning worship, the evening poster ses-
sion and plenary session, to Friday’s poster and breakout sessions. I am sure
that we will all be intellectually stimulated, but more importantly that we will
grow spiritually from this biblical-theological feast. I am pleased that more than
a dozen students will be presenting during the Friday sessions and encourage
all of you to engage in meaningful discussion with the presenters. Begin already
to plan your research and writing in order to participate in next year’s sympo-
sium by designing a poster or preparing a lecture.
We want to praise the Lord for godly scholars and their faithful work in en-
hancing our knowledge of God and His Truth. He gives gifts—the capacity to
think and express thoughts and communicate truth efectively. To God be the
glory!

PLENARY SPEAKER
Jon Paulien received his bachelor’s degree in Theol-

ogy from Atlantic Union College, which included a year
abroad studying in West Germany. His MDiv degree
(1975) and his PhD in New Testament (1987) were both
earned from Andrews University.
Early in his career, Dr. Paulien was a church pas-
tor in New York and Michigan before attending gradu-
ate school. After teaching at the Seventh-day Adventist
Theological Seminary at Andrews University for many
years, he came to Loma Linda University in 2007 as dean
of the newly-formed School of Religion.
He is a member of the Society of Biblical Literature, the Adventist Society for Reli-
gious Study, and the Chicago Society for Biblical Research. He has also served on nu-
merous committees and study projects within the Adventist Church and professional
organizations. Dr. Paulien is listed in Who’s Who in Religion, Who’s Who in Bibli-
cal Studies and Archaeology, Who’s Who in America, Who’s Who Among America’s
Teachers, and the Directory of American Scholars.
Dr. Paulien is a well-respected biblical scholar and a proliic writer. He has written
dozens of book reviews and has been published on topics relating to the history of
the Adventist Church and the book of Revelation. He is a specialist in the Johannine
literature in the New Testament (Gospel of John and the Book of Revelation) and
the intersection of faith with contemporary culture. Many of his books have been
translated into Spanish, Portuguese, Finnish, Japanese, and the Korean languages.
He also takes special delight in seminars and presentations to non-specialists who
can make practical use of the material in the real world.
Dr. Paulien has traveled to the seven last cities mentioned in the book of Revela-
tion and ilmed a series of DVDs on location for the Hope Channel; written chapters
on Daniel and Revelation and the apostle Paul for high school religion textbooks for
the Adventist church; and conducted many television and radio interviews over the
years. He is also a consulting editor of the Andrews University Seminary Studies.
Outside of academia, Dr. Paulien enjoys being with his wife Pamella and their
three children, and also enjoys travel, golf, and photography when time permits.

POSTER ABSTRACTS
Dennis Akawobsa
Exhaustive Definite Foreknowledge and Divine Risk in the Writings
of Richard Rice
In this poster I study the problem of God’s exhaustive deinite foreknowledge
of future free choices and divine risk in the writings of Richard Rice. Rice argues
that airming divine exhaustive deinite foreknowledge of future free choices
denies God the experience of taking genuine risk. According to him, in creating
morally free beings with the capacity to love involves risk and this implies that
God acknowledged the risk of our disobedience. This was a risk God undertook,
because without this our obedience would not have expressed personal love for
Him. In spite of the risk God freely dedicated Himself to creating and foreknow-
ing the freedom of morally free agents despite lacking the foreknowledge of our
future free choices. Rice argues that the Open View permits us to ascribe risk to
God since love involves risk. Based on Rice’s view, I seek to answer two ques-
tions: Does God’s absolute deinite foreknowledge of free choices in the incarna-
tion mean God did not risk? Does divine risk mean lack of certainty of future free
choices?
David J. Hamstra
The Fullness of Christ: An Adventist Proposal for Integrating Ethical
Trajectory and Christological Typology Hermeneutics
Ethical trajectory hermeneutics describes the underlying unity of the mani-
fold ethical injunctions in scripture as progressive elevation of the ethical stan-
dards of God’s people, but is unable to prescribe standards for God’s people
today in the absence of a irm deinition of the trajectories’ telos. Christological
typology hermeneutics describes the underlying unity of Christ’s saving work in
history as a progressive realization of God’s Kingdom, but has limited applica-
bility to the formation community standards in the absence of a clearly deined
historical-ethical dimension to Kingdom realization. But a synthesis of the two
approaches could resolve their lacunae. Eph 4:13-15 suggests that eschatological
conformity to the pattern of Christ’s historical instantiation of the divine pattern
entails His people’s collective ethical development throughout salvation history.
In his Sermon on the Mount and discourse on divorce, Jesus appealed to God’s
acts as creator/sustainer as a pattern in order to elevate community standards
14
by making explicit what was previously implicit in OT law. The eschatological

consummation of typology could ofer the fullness of Christ as the telos for ethi-
cal trajectories, while the elevation of standards plotted by trajectories could
reveal the ethical dimension of Kingdom realization and the next steps toward
its ethical appropriation.
Martin Hanna
Foreknowledge and Free Choices: A Study of Semantic Complexity
in Scripture
My poster addresses the problem of evaluating the diferent models proposed
by sincere Bible students on how to interpret the semantic complexity of the
teaching of Judeo-Christian Scripture on God’s foreknowledge and free choices.
Competing perspectives include the Augustinian/Calvinist, the Molinist/
Arminian, and the Open Theist models. Some Bible students propose that God
does foreknow free choices. Others propose that God does not foreknow free
choices. There is also diversity among those who airm God’s foreknowledge of free
choices. For example, God’s foreknowledge is understood variously as anticipating:
the necessity of free choices; the certainty of free choices; the possibility of free
choices; or the conditionality of free choices. Each of these views seeks and inds
some support from Scripture. Therefore, evaluating the strengths and weaknesses
of these diferent views may be enhanced by studying the semantic complexity of
the biblical teaching on God’s foreknowledge and free choices.

From Sarapis to Serapis: An Archaeological Analysis Depicting the
Utilization of Sarapis from 30 BC–300 AD within Roman Imperial
Villas in Italy
Previous studies focus primarily on Greek inluences in Rome. Egyptian ar-
tifacts are known as culturally exotic, but not correlated as inluential by the
Graeco-Egyptian Sarapis cult. This research utilizes history, architecture, and
ield analysis of archaeological remains within Roman Imperial Villas in Italy
that exhibit basic to complex inluences from the Graeco-Egyptian Sarapis cult.
Nonetheless, this research seeks to present an interpretive historical overview of
Sarapis, by reviewing its origination within the Egyptian Ptolemaic Dynasty and
showing it as a key factor for the political prowess of Ptolemy I Soter. Then ex-
hibiting its importance for trading through the Mediterranean Sea. Thus, intro-
ducing cultures, subcultures, regions and micro-regions and its importance for
interculturization of these regions. Finally, research exhibits the re-emergence
of Sarapis by Roman Emperors and its interculturation into Roman Imperial
15
Dynasties from 30 BC - 300 AD. Further exhibiting the Romanization of Sera-

pis. Consequently, creating hybrid cultic forms, which inadvertently created hy-
brid forms of archaeological remains. Focusing on archaeological remains will
display Egypt as an integral aspect for the development of the Roman Empire.
Thereby, aixing the Egyptian East to Rome and exhibiting it was equally as
inluential to Rome as Greece, if not more.
Stanley Lebrun
In search of understanding the behavior of the Mesopotamian kings, a natural
starting point would be to identify their ideology. However, ideology is founded
on the cornerstone of history, and in the case of the ideology of a king, the
history of city-states, religion, and kingship is the keystone in getting closer to
understanding the conduct of a Mesopotamian king.
This research will venture to present the parallels between the Mesopotamian
creation epic, Enuma Elish, and the self-gloriication behavior of three
Mesopotamian monarchs of diferent periods. This paper will review the narrative
of the lives of Sargon of Akkad, Hammurabi, and Sargon II while focusing on
the legitimacy of kingship, the building and expanding of an empire, erecting
a royal city, and establishing governing laws which seems to reveal a similarity
to the god Marduk and his kingship. This research will seek to highlight the
similarities between the epic, Enuma Elish, and the lives of the monarchs.

Diagramming the New Testament Greek as a Learning Tool
Problem: Learning Greek is a challenging task that demands from both profes-
sors and students. It requires skill from teachers to guide students in the devel-
opment of knowledge without discouraging them in the process. But also from
the students who need to build vocabulary, grammar and syntax. By the end
of this experience, students are loaded with useful information, but no bridge
was formed towards exegesis. Their knowledge is a mere repetition of grammar
books, charts and loose titles from syntax.
Thesis: The addition of a methodology that can bridge Greek and Theology
needs to be present from the beginning of the learning experience as part of
the requirement of Greek language. I believe that the tool of Diagramming is
key to enhance all areas of Greek studies, so to bridge between morphology and
grammar, between grammar and syntax, then inally bridge between syntax and
exegesis.

Minimums of Basic Hebrew
This poster summarizes the essential paradigms and most relevant topics of
Hebrew I in one page. It refers to essential introductory material which begin-
ning students must know in order to succeed in their irst semester of Hebrew
and beyond. In addition, the poster may be printed and serve as a quick access
(at a glance) to Hebrew I material. It can be a helpful tool in the learning and
retention process of biblical languages.

Objective Research? In the Seminary?
Common understandings of “objective” research include values such as “fac-
tual” and “interpretive neutrality”. There is a growing consensus that the person
doing the research, counts as much as if not more in the interpretive outcomes
than the “facts” alone, and that “interpretive neutrality” is not possible.
The poster explores an alternative framing of “objective research” as the
grounded, intentional and savvy analysis of an “object” in conversation with a
community of peers/experts for the purpose of creating knowledge.
Following Ferraris’ ontology, three classes of “objects” exist.
1. Natural objects: exist whether or not a person notices them. Example: table,
tree. Seminary application: Archaeological artifacts.
2. Ideal objects: exist even though only a mind can conceive of them. Example:
triangle. Seminary application: Systematic theology.
3. Social objects: only exist in a social context. Example: documents (authored
by a person for a reader in a speciic context for a purpose). Seminary ap-
plication: Biblical Exegesis, Church History, Christian Ministry, Missiology.
Thus, within the Seminary curriculum, research assignments could be consid-
ered objective while still engaging the full hermeneutical persona of the author.
The poster concludes with a discussion of the function of library resources in
each class of objective research.

Worship Music as Theology: A Methodology
Theology and music have long been at odds, having been treated as exclusive ields
of theory and praxis. In Christian worship, music tends to be viewed as a matter of
taste and not a signiicant conveyor of theology. This research seeks to establish a
methodology for the theological meaning of music in the context of Christian wor-
ship. In order to establish the context of music, the methods of liturgical history must
be considered. Important to liturgical studies is ritual studies, which asserts that
the actions in worship—such as music—coupled with context, may communicate
meaning. The objective efect and the subjective interpretation of music contribute
to a polyvalent, dynamic meaning of music. This dynamic meaning may be derived
from the music’s historical context, the musical score, the cultural act of making
music and the experience of the listener. The result is “worship music as theology.”
As a signiicant conveyor of theology, music helps promote and establish beliefs and
spirituality in the existential experience of the worshiper.

PAPER ABSTRACTS
This study will examine this issue in light of the centuries of debate about
the subject, in order to more clearly ascertain the nature of the various soterio-
logical implications that emerge. Theological exegesis of Romans 5:12–21 reveals
signiicant doctrinal interconnectivity regarding the roles of our irst parents
and Christ as the Representatives of the human race—the core of the “Federal”
View—with condemnation and death for all by birth in Adam, and justiication
and life for those receiving Christ’s gift. This representative conception seems to
account best for the scriptural materials in light of the exegetical and systematic
analysis—without excluding the contributions of other views but demonstrating
their incompleteness in isolation. Taken in the broader context of the canon, it
provides a means by which the respective roles of our irst parents and Christ
can be seen to have theodical signiicance in light of the Great Controversy.

Eschatological Developments Related to the New Jerusalem in
Light of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre
It seems that most Christians understood the New Jerusalem and God´s
physical presence eschatologically in a heavenly manner. However, with the
Christianization of the Empire, there is a shift in perspective. “The” holy place
is identiied with the earthly Jerusalem. My Paper investigates this shift in es-
chatological interpretation in light of the construction of the church of the Holy
Sepulchre comparing Origen and Eusebius of Ceasarea.
Elmer Arrais Guzman

The Collateral Effects of the Delay of Jesus’ Parousia on the Mes-
sage, Mission, and Worship of the Church
The Christian church adopted critical ontologies partly because Jesus’ par-
19
ousia was delayed. Hence, the church illed the absence of Jesus by actualizing
his presence sacramentally making the mission of the Church secondary, while
worship primary. With the passing of time, the primacy of worship became even
more emphatic after Kant’s metaphysical embargo, which caused the language
of faith to become meaningless outside its community. The logic goes as follows:
(1) the church adopted critical ontology because of Jesus’ delayed parousia, (2)
Jesus’ delayed parousia can be actualized if, and only if, the church goes out into
all the world with the message, (3) but the critical ontology makes the church’s
claim valid only inside the community of faith, (4) thus, the church does not
claim anything meaningful in the world, and does not accomplish the necessary
condition for Jesus’ parousia. This logic primarily afected mission (the meaning
of faith outside the community) rather than worship (the meaning of faith inside
the community).The meaningfulness of the Seventh-day Adventist orientation is
the re-eschatologization of Christianity. Recognition of the void of the parousia
makes the adoption of human conceived ontologies unnecessary.

A Christian Perspective on Watching Secular TV Programming
Research on biblical principles and the efects of watching television on chil-
dren are the basis for this paper that examines how families can manage the
efects of secular TV on their children. Since most Christians have not opted to
eliminate TV viewing in their homes, and because of the prevalence of secular
programing outside the home and on various devices, the paper sets out practi-
cal ways for families to counteract some of the deleterious efects of secular TV.

Defending Your Land: Ethics of Christians in Military Service
In 2014–2015 a conlict between Russia and Ukraine, and following annexa-
tion of Ukrainian territories by Russia, presented an acute dilemma for Ukraini-
ans, to defend country’s borders or to let the land be taken away. Christian com-
munity became divided between “the hawks and the doves.” Some Christians
were strongly advocating for standing up, picking up the arms and defending
the land, while others were standing on the side of peaceful resolution, even at
a cost of losing their land and maybe even losing their freedom. This study seeks
to understand the ethical vision of the New Testament on the military involve-
ment in defending of the land. The task is accomplished through the following
steps. First, I briely survey some cases of defending of the land in the Old Tes-
tament. Second, I examine and propose a fresh reading of some key “military”
passages (Luke 3:14; Mark 6:35–44; Matthew 21:1–11; John 18:1–11) in the New
20
Testament. Third, I present a synthesis of the ethical vision on defending of the

land in the light of the New Testament and propose a possible solution to the
dilemma of military involvement.

From the Lord’s Supper to Parousia: Resisting the Tendencies of
Over—Realized Eschatology Among Corinthian Believers
The early Christian church had a plethora of views in regards to eschatology.
Some believed that they already lived in the eschatological age. Others rejected
the eschatological perspective altogether. This ambivalence is seen in the irst
letter to the Corinthians. Paul’s stress on the future event of parousia caused
some commentators to believe that he was addressing the issue of “over-realized
eschatology” in Corinthian churches.
This paper proposes that the Lord’s Supper played a crucial role in the de-
velopment of this, so-called, “over-realized” eschatology. Therefore, this study
demonstrates how the eschatological realization of the church in Corinth was
based on their misunderstanding of the Lord’s Supper as one of the major char-
acteristics of the eschaton.

The Reaction of the Early Seventh-day Adventists to the Sunday

Law Movement Before 1888
Problem. Developing eschatological Sabbath theology, the Adventist pioneers
witnessed the persecution by the Sunday laws from the 1870s. What had they
done in reaction before 1888?
Results. The irst indictment occurred in Georgia, where the Adventists were
rare and none minister was appointed for. Church didn’t involve in this case,
and the trial was an individual afair. This was similar in other cases in middle
of the 1880s. Only one minister met the prosecuting attorney to help the believ-
ers, while scores of cases depended upon the individuals. The General Confer-
ence of 1885 advised the members to show their beliefs at the courts, while the
church didn’t ofer proper help. In other side of the States, a group of Adventists
in California caused the Democratic Party defeated Republicans who supported
Sunday laws in 1882. In other words, the Adventist chose liberalism to resist the
Sunday law enforcement.
Conclusion. Before 1888, other than literature works, the Adventist church
didn’t have proper structure for helping the believers under the persecutions.
Especially in the Southern states, where the persecution was most intensive, the
church didn’t have enough ministers or structure to help the believers. Few cas-
es imply that if the church moved properly, the persecutions might be lessened.

Gutierrez and Marx: Christian Ethics from the Roots of Marxism
The study of theology in the last century faced constant calls for relevance
and connection with human struggles. Many responses thought to make theol-
ogy more signiicant in relation to politics and ethics. Liberation theology is one
of such responses focused on the social struggle of Central and South American
countries, inluencing also several countries and sectors of society around the
world.
The writings of Carl Marx became involved in many of the social movements
in the twentieth century. It was used by liberation theology in their search for
relevance and understanding of the struggles of society. Marxist ideal is that
philosophy must not only interpret the world but also change it. There is a clear
contrast between this call for relevance and the active role that theology has
played through centuries of apparent indiference to the social struggles outside
of the religious arena despite the biblical calls for social justice.
22
There are three objectives of this study. First, this paper introduces Gustavo
Gutierrez, and his deinition of theology as “critical relection on praxis.” The
second goal is to evaluate the relationship between the roots of Marxism and
Gutierrez’s deinition of theology. And the third goal is to criticize the relation-
ship between Gutierrez and Marx from the perspective of Christian ethics, the
example of the prophets, the testimony of other modern ethicists, and Jesus as
the maximum example of commitment for liberation.

Up a Tree: Soteriological Implications of the Interwoven Quest and
Rescue Plots of Luke 19:1–10
Two views dominate the interpretation of the Lukan story of Zacchaeus: either
the story illustrates social rectiication for a misunderstood and hated man
who worked in a loathed occupation, or the story demonstrates Jesus’ ability
to bring a corrupt chief tax collector to repentance and transformation. This
article contends that the author’s intent was the latter interpretation and does
so by exploring the narrative qualities of plot, emphasis, and characterization.
We maintain that Luke 19:1–10 has two intersecting plots. One is a quest—
Zacchaeus wants to see who Jesus is. The other is a rescue—the Son of Man
came to seek and save the lost. The narrative tactics employed in the story place
heavy emphasis on the interaction between Jesus and Zacchaeus while the tax
collector is up the tree. This would seem to emphasize the quest—Zacchaeus
achieved his goal. But in fact, the interaction at the tree is very much part of the
rescue. We illustrate how these ideas work together to emphasize repentance
and it within the Lukan theme of rescue.

The Salvation of the Unevangelized: The Exclusivist Views of Millard
J. Erickson
This paper investigates the exclusivist views of Millard J. Erickson on the
salvation of the unevangelized. Erickson is an Evangelical scholar who, for

over four decades, has made a signiicant contribution to the debate about
the salvation of the unevangelized. He has published a number of books
and journal articles on this subject. In his works he has taken a stance as an
exclusivist and has debated from that standpoint while denying the possibility
that general revelation can lead people to salvation. However, in recent years he
has allowed for such a possibility. What indeed are his exclusivist views on the
23
question of the salvation of the unevangelized? Are his views changing shifting
from exclusivism toward inclusivism? The paper makes an attempt to address
these questions. This has been done by examining his major published works
both books and articles and the works of other scholars who have written about
or have debated him on this subject over the years. The research concludes that
Erickson’s views on the salvation of the unevangelized have softened over time
from being a hardcore exclusivist toward being an agnostic.

Syncretism in the Cult to Ishtar
The Lady of the Heaven is known in several ways in the context of ANE:
Inanna, Sumerian; Ishtar, Akkadian; and Astarte, Canaanite. She seems to
play an enormous variety of roles and exhibit several traits as the goddess
of sexual love, fertility, war, rain, etc. Deinitively, her importance within
Ancient Mesopotamia pantheon was preeminent and dominant. Each of her
features is deeply connected with social and political coniguration of Ancient
Mesopotamian Society. In this paper, we are going to focus on how Inanna/
Ishtar evolved along several syncretism processes. The question which we will
try to respond is: What are the several factors involved in this processes and how
they can be interpreted? In order to respond this question, irst of all, we will
consider a brief review of a “standard version” of myths around her and how
she was deeply connected with fertility theology, then we will look over crucial
points in the evolution of her conceptualization, and inally a brief relection
about how to interpret the several changes of her character.

Adventism in the Shadow of Fundamentalism
Adventism emerged in the midst of the 19th century, right towards the end
of the Second Great Awakening; a Protestant revival movement that swept the
developing young nation. After the great disappointment of 1844, a small group
of faithful Bible students continued to seek answers through the Scriptures,
and came to the conviction that in 1844, Christ, our High Priest, entered the
second phase of his priestly ministry. By 1863, they had organized into a church
under the name of Seventh-day Adventist. At the same time that Adventism
was organizing for its worldwide mission, other philosophical competitors
like Darwinism, Liberalism, and Modernism were emerging into the scene of
American society. Faced with such challenges, conservative Christianity in
America had to rally to face what they considered a threat to the very fabric of
24
American Protestantism; Seventh-day Adventist also confronted the threat. The

result of this shared concern was a 20th century Adventism that, in the shadow
of fundamentalism, developed strong fundamentalist views of faith that would
determine its direction for coming decades.

Ellen White’s Use of the Veil Imagery and Her Progressive Under-
standing of the Book of Hebrews
Since receiving her irst visions of the sanctuary in heaven early in her min-
istry, Ellen White’s writings have guided the church in its understanding of
Christ’s sanctuary ministry. The concept of a veil that divided the two apart-
ments of the earthly sanctuary was a key component for Ellen White in her de-
scription of these realities in heaven. Her visions were described in mostly literal
terms, although not all that she saw in heaven could be taken literally. The focus
of the visions were not to give details of celestial architectural space, but rather
to communicate conidence in Jesus as High Priest, and his present ministry in
the heavenly sanctuary. To accomplish this Ellen White employed the veil im-
agery in a dynamic and progressive way. She used the veil imagery in a pastoral
sense, but also theologically. Thus it’s important that Adventist understand her
use of the veil imagery in her writings and how it can serve as support for the
biblical teaching of Jesus’ priesthood. This research will focus on Ellen White’s
progressive use and understanding of Christ’s High Priestly ministry in the book
of Hebrews through her use of the veil imagery.

The Legacy of the Gospel: Reprising the Role and Function of the
Church in 21st Century Communities
Current trends reveal, most Adventist churches approach the issue of poverty
symptomatically rather than systematically and in recent years have a hands-of
approach to addressing the realities of poverty in the local communities they
serve. This paper seeks to explore and recommend creative ways in which the
church can better serve its community by adapting redemptive and transforma-
tional strategies that will strengthen its role and function in the community;
reconcile and engage secular partnerships without the occlusion of theological
and non-theological diferences in its approach to mission.

The Interplay between Forms of Revelation: Implications for Theo-
logical Methodology
The interplay between forms of revelation has been a matter of much discus-
sion in theological discourse for many centuries. While this paper is not particu-
larly concerned with the inal say on the doctrine of revelation it is concerned
with revelation and its relation to theological method. In other words, what is
the signiicance of the various modes or forms that revelation takes in connection
with the way theology is approached and done? The thesis of this paper is that
God is not limited to one form of revelation, but rather that each revelatory form
can and does inform the others in some way. The paper will attempt to determine,
through the example of Paul, how forms of revelation work together in various
cultural contexts to reveal God. The implications of this thesis as they relate to
theological method will also be explored.

Application of Deuteronomy 21:18–21 to Modern Parenting
This Investigation presents which are the elements implied in this law that are
applicable to modern parenting and which are not?” It answer to this question
by presenting the preventive and punitive role of the law regarding parents, kids,
and society; in especial exploring society’s responsibility towards the individual,
itself, and God. It also investigates what the immediate context reveals about the
law, its category, and its goals. At the sequence it compares capital punishment
among other Near Eastern Ancient cultures, especially regarding parenting, and
presents the reasons why it was so severe inside of Israelite culture. Moreover this
investigation established parallels between the rebellious son, Israel, and any
other sinner and its implications regarding the redemption in Christ at the light of
the NT, employing the applicable elements in this law to modern days parenting
relating it to every individual’s relationship with God, the Father.

Interpretations of Spiritual House in 1 Peter 2:4–10 and Their Impli-
cations on the Indwelling of Divine Presence
26
The person-to-person paradigm of divine presence within the OT, the time of
the irst advent of Jesus in the NT, and after the second advent of the Jesus in
the New Jerusalem poses a question of divine presence for the waiting period
in between Jesus ascension and Second Advent. In what way is the Holy Spirit
present with the Christian church during this time of waiting? The question for
this research is in what way, if at all, does the concept of the spiritual house of
1 Peter address the issue of divine presence? The way in which this research will
answer this question is by exegetically deining spiritual house and the closely
related spiritual sacriices in 1 Peter 2:4–10. These deinitions will help to draw
out the implications for divine presence based on this passage.
