The 2023 Adventist Theological Society (ATS) annual meeting convened in San Antonio, Texas, in conjunction with the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) from November 14-18, 2023.

“Our ETS sessions were well attended,” says Rahel Wells, president of ATS. “Each of the sessions was standing room only. Tuesday’s meeting focused on general theological anthropological topics. During Wednesday's session, we used a different format. The speakers presented three versions of a difficult text related to anthropology. A discussion between the panelists and the audience followed this. We dug deep during these sessions, and many attendees expressed their appreciation for the format and wished for more time to continue the discussions.”

The topics presented on Tuesday and Wednesday included:

What Makes Us Human?: The Distinctness of Humanity in Anthropological and

• Theological Perspective by Stacie Hatfield, Andrews University
• Jesus’ Anthropological Dehumanization in the Matthean Passion Narrative by Carlos Olivares, Centro Universitário Adventista de São Paulo

– Theological Anthropology in Context: Towards a Biblical-theological Context of Creation-Fall-Restoration by Jan Barna, Newbold College

• An Immortal Body: How the Garden of Eden Informs our Understanding of the

Post-Resurrection Body by Thomas Toews, Union College

• Three Monist Views on a Difficult Text: Death, Paradise, and a Comma

Moderator: John Reeve, Andrews University

• Luke 23:42–43: The Thief on the Cross and Paradise–Beyond the Comma

Kim Papaioannou, pastor

• The Significance of “Today” in the Gospel of Luke: The Dawn of a New Era by Eike Mueller, Newbold College
• Anthropological Orthodoxy and Heresy in Luke 23:42-43 from the Perspective of Discourse Analysis and the Levels of Intentionality by Laurentiu Mot, Adventus University in Cernica

The North American Division Ministerial Association hosted the Friday evening. Pastor Dwight Nelson’s topic was On the Eve of Destruction: Is Imminence Still God’s Preferred Modus Operandi?

The Sabbath schedule was filled with a panel discussion, an afternoon plenary session, the presentation of a Festschrift to Ekkehardt Müeller, and breakout sessions covering the topics based on the apocalyptic, biblical/theological, restoration, and mission. Recordings of the week's meetings will be uploaded and available on the ATS YouTube channel soon.

Another highlight of the week was an international guest attending the meetings due to the generosity of an ATS scholarship. “Hosting an international guest on scholarship has been a desire for several years,” says Wells. “It was exciting to see it come to fruition. We had forty applicants that we reviewed. The individual chosen has taught for 20 years, holds a PhD, and has been unable to attend the annual gathering because of financial constraints. We will continue to offer an annual scholarship. Watch for announcements for the application process in 2024.”

Saturday evening, a short annual business meeting was held. It was primarily informational, and no voted actions were recorded.

During this meeting, Rahel Wells passed the torch of ATS leadership to Eike Müeller and Christie Chadwick, president and president-elect, respectively. At the time of her election five years ago, Wells became the youngest person to lead ATS. “We are witnessing a transition to a new generation filling the leadership roles,” says Wells. “Those in the positions of president, president-elect, and secretary are now of the same generation.”

 

During the 2024 Believe the Promise International Camporee in August, ATS will host a booth in the exhibit hall. “There will be thousands of Pathfinders attending,” says Rahel Wells, past president, ATS. “They will be accompanied by adults who may not have had exposure to ATS."

Biblical Creation Scientist Making Impact

Christian scientists who believe in biblical creation are still making an impact. Ronny Nalin, director, Geoscience Research Institute, shared the functions of the GRI and how these assist in meeting the institute’s mission.  

“We exist, and we are here — you and I — because God created the universe, because God created this world and fashioned it for us to inhabit it. We are here today because God willed us. We are here today because He sustains our being.”

Ensuring Mission Goes to All the World

David Trim shared key data about church membership and its impact on the Adventist mission. As a worldwide church, we must focus our mission on sharing the gospel and balance it with a mission refocus to use resources where they are needed. “In 2023, there is an urgent need to make sure that our mission goes to all the world,” says Trim.

ADVENTIST HISTORY PODCAST

The Adventist History Podcast is a monthly podcast telling a story of the Seventh-day Adventist Church hosted by Matthew J. Lucio.

Ellen White: Prophecy and Plagiarism (Part 1)

A trio of young Adventist historians (William Peterson, Don McAdams, Ron Numbers) wanted to apply the tools of their trade to a study of Ellen White. What they discovered has changed our understanding of Ellen White.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnxAp_NM8y4&list=PLoqG9ECFWUvk8taQyiUiGy4ZIUWP8kbCv&index=55

Ellen White: Prophecy and Plagiarism (Part 2)

In this episode, we focus on one of the people we introduced in the last episode: Ron Numbers. His book, Prophetess of Health, has been cited as one of the most (if not the most) important scholarly studies on Ellen White. We explore how the book was written, what it says, and what happened after it was published. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TKvoMdILHA&list=PLoqG9ECFWUvk8taQyiUiGy4ZIUWP8kbCv&index=56

Ellen White: Prophecy and Plagiarism (Part 3)

In this episode, we continue our story of the project to study Ellen White using modern techniques, especially source criticism. We meet a new player on the scene, this time a pastor named Walter Rea.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7miu2OLTK8k&list=PLoqG9ECFWUvk8taQyiUiGy4ZIUWP8kbCv&index=57

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn1P5jGwTCI&list=PLoqG9ECFWUvk8taQyiUiGy4ZIUWP8kbCv&index=58 

ELLEN WHITE PODCAST

Ellen White’s Failed Prophecy

Many critics think Ellen White made a failed prediction (and is thus a false prophet) when she wrote, during the Civil War: “When England does declare war. . . .” Dr. Jud Lake looks at that statement and explains what Ellen White meant.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAEtKaN_wgw&list=PLoqG9ECFWUvkM7YCcG5oo9Ukt9tVrQVRQ&index=14 

Was Abraham Lincoln a Prophet? What might Abraham Lincoln and Ellen White have in common? Dr. Jud Lake explores this question in the finale of his series on Ellen White and the Civil War.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCMjDaI0PDw&list=PLoqG9ECFWUvkM7YCcG5oo9Ukt9tVrQVRQ&index=15

Is Jesus God? What Did Ellen White Believe?

Dr. Jud Lake responds to a video where a pastor said Ellen White was going to hell over a particular statement she made. Dr. Lake gets to the bottom of this.
