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). Throughout our history, we Seventh-day Adventists have preached countless sermons and taught […]
by S.M. Chen | 28 October 2022 | The above words were used by famed physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955) to describe the phenomenon of quantum entanglement. There were likely very few things in life Einstein wanted to understand but didn’t or couldn’t. This may have been one even he had difficulty wrapping his head around. […]
by Admiral Ncube | 27 October 2022 A unique feature about Adventism has always been our eschatological view of the world and our nuanced understanding of the sin problem. Because we relate to the world through eschatological lenses, we have an inherent mistrust of ecumenism, and an indifference towards politics and social justice issues—unless, of […]
by David Geelan | 25 October 2022 | Is it possible, or will it become possible with technological advances, to ‘record’ a human mind into a computer? This might seem like a science or science fiction question, more than one appropriate for Adventist Today. Once we delve past some science and technology, though, it quite […]
by Melissa Brotton | 17 October 2022 | “Hi, Siobhan,” Tim greets his colleague of five years, then stops abruptly. “Everything okay?” Siobhan looks up from her laptop briefly. “Yeah. Well, not really. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed.” “Anything I can do?” Tim leans into Siobhan’s cubicle. “Not sure. It’s not that I feel incompetent, […]

by John B. Hoehn, MD All the cells of a developing human live, die, and are replaced by different cells many times. This is as God designed it to be to create healthy humans in his image.

by Arthur Sibanda | 10 October 2022 | Over weeks since the death of the longest-serving British monarch, Elizabeth II, I have watched with keen interest the geopolitical arguments as people try to reflect on her legacy. Grief is of course to be expected from those who are directly related to her, as well as […]
by Ron Hessel | 8 October 2022 | I got my undergrad degree in theology in the last half of the ’70s. Lots of confusing stuff was happening in that era in the Adventist world, particularly around the investigative judgment doctrine. Reputations were teetering on the edge. Careers were at stake. I just ducked my […]
by Amy Nordhues | 6 October 2022 | Why is it that when a person is victimized, especially domestic violence or sex crimes, people are more likely to scrutinize the victim’s actions than those of the perpetrator? Psychologists describe this tendency to blame victims as the “just-world hypothesis,” and it stems from a deeply rooted […]
by Jim Walters | 4 October 2022 | Where was God in Hurricane Ian, one of the deadliest hurricanes to ever hit the US mainline? Here’s one view. According to “Captain” Lewis McDonald, God miraculously preserved his ocean-going, shark-hunting cruiser. The boat surged over still-standing electric power lines, ending atop mangled mangrove trees 600 feet […]
by Hannele Ottschofski | 30 September 2022 Yochi Rappeport’s blog in the Times of Israel on September 13 about role models led me to think about the influence of what we Adventists see and experience.
