by Paul Priest | 4 November 2022 | In previous articles here I have argued that Genesis 1 and 2 represent two separate creations.

by Nerida Taylor Bates | 3 November 2022 | I’ll never forget something that I saw when coming out of my kindergarten Sabbath School when I was five years old. The hall under our small church was completely empty except for a young woman with teased hair, go-go boots, and short mini skirt, kneeling in […]
2 November 2022 | by Bryan Ness When I started my biology education in 1980, I was confident that the creation story in the Bible could stand up to scientific scrutiny.

by Loren L. Fenton | 1 November 2022 | The Apostle John wrote in the prologue of his gospel, “The Word (Jesus) became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory . . . full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

24 October 2022 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, I knew when I married my husband that he had grown up hunting with his family. I just didn’t know how important it was to him. Every year there are a few weeks of big get-together hunts with his father and brothers and brother-in-law, with lots of camaraderie […]
19 October 2022 | We are discussing this essay by Carsten Thomsen for this week. Please click here to read it. The following paragraphs are the background to the piece you’ll be reading and discussing this week, called “Ten Celebrations of Adventist Theology.” I’m probably a lifelong rebel.

by Daniel Golovenko | 18 October 2022 | The story has been told so often in Adventist circles around the world that it sometimes seems almost like sacrilege to revisit it: on October 22, 1844, thousands of faithful believers, mainly in the New England states, gathered in hopeful anticipation that the skies would break open […]
