This module primary studies the development of Seventh-day Adventist theology. The class initially offers an analysis of the complex historical and theological contexts in which Adventism was born, followed by a detailed discussion of the major formative periods during which Adventist theology had been formed. The class also addresses important questions of theological controversies and provides discussion aimed at indicating ways at moving beyond theological divisions. A noteworthy part of the class is given to an in- depth analysis focused on discerning correctly the prophetic contribution of Ellen White to the development of Adventist theology. As such therefore, this class is not a class in church history, but essentially a class in historical and systematic theology.

Lecturer: Pr Rory Mendez
