Does Our Church Want to Embrace Male Headship?

by Andreas Bochmann  |  27 May 2022  | My pastor made me aware of it: an article on “headship theology” in the Adventist Review. Before I found it, a Facebook group I follow discussed it, with rather mixed opinions. When I read it I found it deeply disturbing. The piece I’m referring to was written […]

The story involves Seventh-day Adventist member Eiríkur Ingvarsson, who has helped the church […]

ATSS: Reinder Bruinsma, “The Church Has a Future”

25 May 2022  | The Christian church is in trouble, in particular in the Western world. Many denominations see their membership decrease and experience an exodus of the younger generations. Postmoderns may still have an interest in spirituality, but they turn away from institutional Christianity. Current trends also affect the Seventh-day Adventist Church. While the […]

The Rise and Fall of 1844 – Part 1

by Norman H. Young  |  24 May 2022  |  In Fern Seeds and Elephants (p. 78–79) C.S. Lewis gently described one of Adventism’s most revered forefathers as “poor William Miller,” whom he took “to have been an honest fanatic.” Lewis deemed efforts to calculate the date of Christ’s return as vainly attempting to do what […]

ATSS PRESENTS: Esther Loewen, the Beatitudes, and Transgenderism

23 May 2022  | Because the process of changing gender-expression and outward identity is so far-reaching and consequential (especially when it takes place at middle-age and within Christian culture), I have found myself grasping a deeper reality: identity shapes hermeneutic. Who we are in context deeply affects the ways in which we read and understand […]

Aunty, is my sugar made with bones?

23 May 2022  | Dear Aunt Sevvy, Recently I’ve been hearing in vegan online groups that anything with cane sugar isn’t vegetarian because sugar is processed with bone char. Is this something I should be concerned about? Signed, Vegan with a Sweet Tooth Dear Sweet Tooth: Though Aunty isn’t vegan, she understands concerns about what’s […]

When Christians Play Fast-and-Loose With Science

by Rich Hannon  |  20 May 2022  | With the historical ascent of science and its theories about the natural world, there has been a gradual but intensifying religion-driven conflict about science’s trustworthiness, as some conclusions have departed from traditionally orthodox Christian understandings.   For example, believers have for centuries accepted the idea that the world […]

Ellen White’s Vision of a Flawed Final Generation

by Alden Thompson  |  19 May 2022  |   Recently I came across some astonishing “last generation” comments from Ellen White in the chapter “Joshua and the Angel” in Prophets and Kings (582-592). As I pondered the chapter, I was startled but encouraged at how clearly Ellen White presents the case for a sinful people standing […]

ATSS: Esther Loewen, “Blessed Are the Trans People”

18 May 2022  | The Beatitudes represent many things to many people. This passage in Matthew 5 is understood as a vision of an alternate community (Walter Brueggemann), an indictment against the most powerful (Jim Wallis), an illustration of the bodily dimensions of faith (Barbara Brown Taylor), and God’s proclamation of His good favor as […]

What Jesus Died For

by Loren Seibold  |  17 May 2022  | “All of creation groans with pain, like the pain of childbirth.” Romans 8:22 (Good News Translation) “Was everything OK?” he asked. Yes, we said. As good as usual. Curious why our Cracker Barrel waiter was a middle-aged man, soft-voiced and serious, when usually they’re young people, students, […]

Aunty, what about people with sexual sins in the church?

16 May 2022  | Dear Aunt Sevvy: I just recently read Aunt Sevvy’s response to a person who had issues with having a drug addict attending church with them.  I have a related question. How should the church handle a person addicted to pornography, masturbation, or illicit sex? The church manual lists these as issues […]

Adventist Tomorrow: Fresh Ideas While Waiting for Jesus, by Jack Hoehn

ADVENTIST TOMORROW by Jack Hoehn has become the best-selling book that Adventist Today has published, selling over 850 copies so far (480+ in the paperback and  370+ in the electronic Kindle version).  It is being read by Adventist College and University students.  It is being read in Canada, in Australia,  in South Africa, in Kenya and in Spain, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.

Who is reading Jack’s book?  Jonathan Butler said it is on his reading list.  Smuts Van Rooyen says he is enjoying it.  Pastors John Hughson and Kenneth Preston have highly recommended it.  Pastor Kevin McGill in Seattle quoted from the book in one of his sermons.   Carmen Lau has read the book.  Jennifer Ogden, Beverly Beem, Linda Nottingham,  Cherri-Ann Farquharson, Gina Olberg have all read it with positive reviews.

Even Clifford Goldstein told Jack he liked the chapter on Intoxicants and got a new idea from the chapter Not a Rib, “but not much else.” (Jack accepts this as good a review from Cliff as he could ever hope for!)

You too don’t have to agree with Jack to read the book.  The ideas discussed in the book are important for all caring Adventists to carefully consider.  It is up to you to decide what you want to do about these issues.  Is there a future for Adventism as well as a past?  And what might that future look like?

Readers who like the book say:   It’s a good read.  I have enjoyed it immensely.  A very valuable piece of work.  Once I started it, I could not put it down.  Very well written.  An unprecedented and transformative rescue of Adventist thought.  A genuine pleasure and a relief.  Added very richly to my heart, soul and mind.

The book is good for individual consideration.  It can be even better as the basis for group discussions — Sabbath School classes, book clubs,  classrooms, workers’ retreats focusing on the challenges of tomorrow.  After you read your copy share it with someone else, or gift them their own copy.   There are 92,000 SDA congregations in the world, most of  them should be having  discussions on important topics like these.
