Connecting Worlds: Biblical, Theological, and Interdisciplinary Studies in Honor of Ekkehardt Mueller
Gerald A. Klingbeil and Eike Mueller
Connecting Worlds is a Festschrift to honor and celebrate the life-long contribution of Ekkehardt Mueller, to the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the wider scholarly community. The twenty-two contributors have three things in common. They are Ekkehardt’s former students, teachers, and colleagues. All are connected with the Seventh-day Adventist church. Together they form a global network, consisting of different generations and ethnicities connecting the world in a way that reflects Ekkehardt’s far-reaching influence and varied interests. The wide range of topics in Connecting Worlds shows Ekkehardt’s ability to effortlessly connect a wide range of disciplines. By connecting the disciplines of Biblical and Systematic Theology with Practical Theology, he provided places where pastors, theologians, scholars, and administrators could meet, grapple with difficult questions and ideas, to find ways of going forward, enriching personal faith and the wider community. He built bridges between the disciplines, creating opportunities for greater understanding. In addition to reflecting Ekkehardt’s love for Scripture the essays reflect his wider interests, particularly in music. May this Festschrift not only honor Ekkehardt but also be an inspiration to others to continue to study, engage, and build bridges with others to enrich our understanding and faith.

Legacy of Beauty: A Festschrift in Honor of Jo Ann Davidson
A. Rahel Schafer and Iriann Marie Irizarry
Jo Ann Davidson, PhD, is the first woman in the Seventh-day Adventist Church to earn a doctorate in systematic theology. In additional, she is the first woman in the Seventh-day Adventist Church to be hired as a professor of systematic theology at the graduate level, teaching at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan. Among many other accomplishments, she was also the first female president of the Adventist Theological Society.
In honor of Jon Ann's trailblazing contributions, this Festschrift is published by the Adventist Theological Society. All chapters are written by female Seventh-day Adventist theologians and scholars, whose paths have crossed with Jo Ann's in a meaningful way.
The title of this book, Legacy of Beauty, was chosen because of Jo Ann's love for and expertise in the theology of beauty, culminating in her dissertation Toward a Theology of Beauty: A Biblical Perspective. Each chapter in this Festschrift focuses on some aspect of beauty in the Bible, from literary and narratival complexity, to archaeological findings and homiletical applications. -
The Book of Mark
Thomas R. Shepherd
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.—Mark 1:1.
Mark, the shortest—and perhaps the first—of the four Gospels, presents Jesus in bold, on-the-go strokes. Mark’s was not a meek-and-mild Jesus. Instead, He is striking, forthright, and powerful. He attacks Satan’s realm, casts out demons, and raises the dead.
Join Dr. Thomas Shepherd, author of the forth-coming Seventh-day Adventist International Bible Commentary on the Gospel of Mark for an in-depth look at Jesus in action. Discover the power of “sandwich” stories, explore the revelation-secrecy motif, and watch as the Savior’s authority comes into conflict with the religious leaders of the day.
After Mark takes readers on real-time adventures with Jesus, he leaves the ending open, but not without a purpose. The Gospel of Mark ends with an appeal to the reader to go and tell the good news: Jesus is risen from the dead! Tell it to all the nations.

Harfleur to Hamburg: Five Centuries of English and British Violence in Europe
David Trim and Brendan Simms
Britain has historically been seen as an upholder of international norms, at least in its relations with western powers. This has often been contrasted with the violence perpetrated in colonial contexts on other continents. What is often missed, however, is the extent to which the state with its capital in London—first England, then Great Britain—inflicted extreme violence on its European neighbours, even when still using the rhetoric of neighbourliness and friendship.
This book comprises eleven case-studies of Anglo-British strategic violence, from the siege of Harfleur in 1415 to the fire-bombing of Hamburg in 1943. Chapters examine actions that were top-down and directed, and perpetrated for specific geopolitical reasons—many of them at, or well beyond, the bounds of what was sanctioned by prevailing international norms at the time. The contributors look at how these actions were conceived, executed and perceived by the English/British public, by the international legal community of the time, and by the victims.
This history of English violence in Europe complicates not only easy notions of England/Britain as a champion of the ‘standards of civilisation’ or of the ‘liberal international order’, but also of the supposed distinction between ‘European’ and ‘extra-European’ warfare.

Quantitative Research for Practical Theology
Petr Činčala, David Penno, Pavel Zubkov, and Safary Wa-Mbaleka
Following the Qualitative Research for Practical Theology, this volume discusses the advantages and limitations of using quantitative research methods in practical theology and provides guidance on how to integrate these methods with other approaches, such as qualitative research. The book emphasizes the importance of using rigorous research in order to produce valid and reliable results and also addresses ethical considerations in conducting research with human subjects. Written by a number of authors from different parts of the world, both practical theologians and social scientists, it presents a balanced approach to practical research from both scientific and theological perspective. The authors provide practical guidance on how to conduct quantitative research within the context of practical theology and missiology. A number of case studies and examples from real-life research projects illustrate the application of this method to practical questions and issues church ministry and mission faces.
Quantitative Research for Practical Theology is an invaluable resource for theologians, religious scholars, and practitioners seeking to gain a solid grounding in quantitative research methods. By providing clear explanations, illustrative examples, and practical advice, this book enables readers to apply social science research methods to their own theological inquiries, leading to a deeper understanding of religious phenomena and more effective missional practice. Graduate and doctoral students, as well as novice and experienced quantitative researchers in practical theology will find this book very useful, user-friendly, and practical. To make writing the dissertation project a successful enterprise, the book provides essential exemplars of various parts of the research paper. This book is filled with tables, figures, and illustrations helping to apply the text. -
Shakespeare and Cultural Appropriation
Vanessa I. Corredera, L. Monique Pittman, and Geoffrey Way
Shakespeare and Cultural Appropriation pushes back against two intertwined binaries: the idea that appropriation can only be either theft or gift, and the idea that cultural appropriation should be narrowly defined as an appropriative contest between a hegemonic and marginalized power. In doing so, the contributions to the collection provide tools for thinking about appropriation and cultural appropriation as spectrums constantly evolving and renegotiating between the poles of exploitation and appreciation.
This collection argues that the concept of cultural appropriation is one of the most undertheorized yet evocative frameworks for Shakespeare appropriation studies to address the relationships between power, users, and uses of Shakespeare. By robustly theorizing cultural appropriation, this collection offers a foundation for interrogating not just the line between exploitation and appreciation, but also how distinct values, biases, and inequities determine where that line lies. Ultimately, this collection broadly employs cultural appropriation to rethink how Shakespeare studies can redirect attention back to power structures, cultural ownership and identity, and Shakespeare’s imbrication within those networks of power and influence. Throughout the contributions in this collection, which explore twentieth and twenty-first century global appropriations of Shakespeare across modes and genres, the collectionuncovers how a deeper exploration of cultural appropriation can reorient the inquiries of Shakespeare adaptation and appropriation studies.
This collection will be of great interest to students and scholars in theatre and performance studies, Shakespeare studies, and adaption studies.

Modeling Behavior and Population Dynamics: Seabirds, Seals, and Marine Iguanas
Jim M. Cushing, Shandelle M. Henson, and James Hayward
This monograph summarizes several decades of collaborations between ecologists and mathematicians, presenting novel applications in biological modeling. The authors are among the first researchers to pioneer the use of dynamical systems models to successfully describe and predict animal behavior in relation to environmental changes. The text highlights the biological and mathematical techniques used in the research, including three main components: 1) large data sets on natural populations in the field; 2) mathematical models rigorously tied to data, which describe, explain, and predict behavioral dynamics in relation to environmental variables; and 3) simplified, proof-of-concept models to probe dynamic mechanisms, suggest testable hypotheses, and allow study of the consequences of environmental change and evolving traits. It is a suitable text for field ecologists interested in the modeling procedures and conclusions addressed therein, as well as mathematicians interested inapplications to population, ecological, and evolutionary dynamics.

G. I. Butler: An Honest but Misunderstood Church Leader
Denis Fortin
Denis Fortin puts readers into George Ide Butler’s shoes, revealing his heart, understanding his arguments, and viewing the young church through his lens. Yet, Fortin presents much more than a volume about Butler himself. The work provides a dynamic stream of Adventist history from Butler’s perspective as the young denomination faced new stresses and strains—including complex family relationships and opposing power centers—as it sought to define itself and how it would operate.

Remembering: It Matters How We Tell the Sabbath Story
Mathilde Frey, Edward Allen, Sigve K. Tonstad, and Denis Fortin
Memory and remembrance are integral to life and central to the Sabbath. The fourth commandment in Exodus calls out, “Remember the Sabbath day” (Exodus 20:8, NKJV). To remember the Sabbath in the world of the Hebrew Bible is first and foremost a sacred invitation to retell the story of slavery and deliverance, again and again, every seventh day. This is evident in the Deuteronomy version, “Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt” (Deuteronomy 5:15, NKJV).
If the exodus is to be memorialized to such a great extent, then the Sabbath can become a meaning-making moment, giving language and voice to traumatized people whose memories could otherwise have left them speechless and numb. To retell the story is to actively reengage that memory, to relive the trauma, and to begin to hope that all tyranny has lost its power. In service of this hope, the Sabbath pushes us to see injustice in our world, to worry for those who cry out in hunger around us, to mourn the loss of our natural resources, and to rage against the forces of oppression and injustice that plague humanity. Such remembering then is not a question about an event of the past, but an enduring art of living in the present, a constant and active faith, a personal engagement with “eternity in disguise,” as Abraham J. Heschel describes it. Moreover, Sabbath is not a theological doctrine, but, as Pinchas H. Peli insists, Sabbath is at the very essence of the interaction between God, the world, and humanity. It is at the core of the meaning-giving component of life, and, for that reason, it is universal. It gives all of us hope that none of us is a prisoner of the past; we can all find deliverance from tyranny and enjoy a new, restful, and flourishing life.
This volume publishes selected papers on the topic of Sabbath that were presented at two scholarly societies: the 2020 conference of the Adventist Society for Religious Studies with the theme “Sabbath: Roots, Rest, and Resistance,” and the Society of Biblical Literature’s “Sabbath in Text, Tradition, and Theology” program units between 2008 and 2016. There are also a number of solicited contributions from academics who have worked on the topic of Sabbath during their careers. Together the papers highlight the breadth and depth of research and current interest in the texts and the theme of Sabbath in the Bible as well as in extra-biblical literature. The papers have been updated and organized under four sub-headings and made available for the academic readership and all those interested in current research on the topic of Sabbath.

Seven Secrets of a Joyful Life
Trevor O'Reggio
It is difficult to define what are the secrets of a joyful life, since everyone has different criteria for defining joy. But whichever way you define it, you will know when you are living it. In this small book I have described for you my own definition of a joyful life. My seven secrets are: Live Passionately, Laugh Often, Keep on Learning, Love Unconditionally, Give Generously, Serve Unselfishly, and Practice Moderation.
We only have one life to live, make everyday count. Receive each sunrise as a gift from God, embrace its privileges, shoulder its responsibilities, and do not squander its opportunities. In the words of Denzel Washington
“At the end of the day, its not about what you have or about what you have accomplished… Its about who you have lifted up, and who you have made better, It’s all about what you have given back”
I hope that this book will inspire you to be your best self and motivate you to a more fulfilling and joyful life. -
God with Us: An Introduction to Adventist Theology
John C. Peckham
God with us.
They comprise, perhaps, the most profound assembly of three words in any language. They express the inexpressible sum of the Gospel. They describe the absolute foundational idea in the resolution of the great universal conflict between good and evil.
This is a book of theology—an accessible, thoughtful study of the God who is with us. And this is a book particularly of Seventh-day Adventist theology, a system which, by its very name, expresses two of the most profound illustrations of, and yearnings for, God’s presence with us in time (the Sabbath), and in physical reality in the certainty of His soon return (the second Advent).
In this highly readable and deeply thoughtful work, author John C. Peckham frames the matter this way: “The theme of divine presence that is so integral to Adventist theology is itself a central theme of the Bible. Indeed, the matter of God’s presence with us is so prominent in Scripture that some would even identify it as the main theme of Scripture. The story and teachings of Scripture revolve around the matter of divine presence, with God Himself becoming human in Christ—becoming ‘God with us’—standing at the pinnacle of the story of redemption. As we will see, God’s work of redemptions itself is the work of reconciling humans to Himself so that we can be with Him again in the special ways He intended from the beginning, temporarily ruptured by the entrance of evil.”
God with Us: An Introduction to Adventist Theology presents each element of foundational Seventh-day Adventist teaching as yet another illustration of the loving God who is truly with us in every one of those clear biblical teachings.

A Voice to Rouse the Nations: Ellen White and the Growth of Adventist Mission Work
David J. B. Trim
Seventh-day Adventists were not always committed to worldwide mission. Early Adventists were steeped in American particularism and national pride, preventing them from expanding their spiritual world view. As the pioneers grew their understanding, they faced doubts about whether such a small movement truly could “go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15, NKJV).
During its first four decades, the Seventh-day Adventist Church transitioned from a small North American sect to a worldwide movement. Still, more than a century after Ellen White’s death in 1915, the work is not yet done.
Everyone—from the senior living next door to the teenager growing up in a remote village across the globe—deserves to know about the Savior who died for us, was raised to life for us, and ministers in heaven for us, redeeming us from the wages of sin through His righteousness and leading us to healthful living and Sabbath rest.
Are we doing our duty today?
A Voice to Rouse the Nations is an illustrated history of Seventh-day Adventist missions work through 1915. Author David Trim explores the evolution of the pioneers’ beliefs and attitudes, introduces early overseas missionaries and their goals, and examines Ellen White’s role in the development and reform of the Church’s global mission work.
The adventure of the Great Commission beckons—will you answer the call?

Vida y Enseñanzas de Jesús
Roberto Badenas and Davide Sciarabba
¿Qué decir de Jesús que no se haya dicho ya?
¿No resulta pretencioso escribir un libro más sobre Jesús?
Si Jesús nos volviese a preguntar hoy, como lo hizo en su tiempo: «¿Quién dicen los hombres que es el Hijo del hombre?» (Mateo 16: 13), ¿cuál sería nuestra respuesta?
La figura de Jesús de Nazaret sigue interesando, intrigando e interpelando al mundo, incluso en nuestra cultura poscristiana.
Pretender esbozar el retrato o la biografía de un personaje a partir de los breves textos de los Evangelios es tanto un arte como una ciencia y, sobre todo, una experiencia. Vida y enseñanzas de Jesús ha procurado combinar el rigor de los entendidos con el amor a Jesús desde la perspectiva ricamente variada de una docena de expertos hispanohablantes adventistas enamorados de Jesús. -
Reanimating Shakespeare’s Othello in Post-Racial America
Vanessa Corredera
Traces the history of Othello’s contemporary citations, adaptations, and appropriations across genres
- Creates an archive of twenty-first century appropriations of Othello, many primary works not yet addressed by scholarship or considered in regards to Othello, such as Get Out, Kill Shakespeare, Serial, and Othello: The Remix
- Considers appropriations across genres and media: podcasts, television, film, graphic novels, and performance
- Places in dialog premodern critical race studies, media studies, and critical race theory to analyze these appropriations
- Contextualizes these appropriations through media studies and popular culture contexts pressuring and pressured by Othello
- Demonstrates the wide-ranging applicability of Othello’s narrative through its breadth
- Provides a method for ethical engagement with and judicious consumption of popular culture
Othello famously supplicates, ‘Speak of me as I am’, pleading for the Venetians to ‘nothing extenuate’, leave out, or make thin (5.2.352). Othello’s anxiety about narrative accuracy exposes his fear over his story’s potential misrepresentation. As the first monograph to examine Othello’s history of contemporary reanimations, Reanimating Shakespeare’s Othello in Post-Racial America takes up this question of retelling Othello’s story, turning to the play as re-crafted in a time and place imagined as having overcome racial injustice: post-racial America (2008–2016). This book analyses representations of Othello across genres and media including podcasts, television, film, graphic novels and performance, and argues that these representational choices of Othellos perpetuate varying racial frameworks that advance antiblack or antiracist versions of the play. By elucidating the presence and function of these competing frameworks, it illuminates and explains how to wrestle with the intersections between Shakespeare, Othello and the American racial imaginary in appropriations, scholarship, the classroom and beyond.

A Song for the Sanctuary: Experiencing God’s Presence in Shadow and Reality
Richard M. Davidson
This book is all about the sanctuary in the Bible. The reader is invited on a journey through sacred space into the very throne-room of the universe—the dwelling-place of the Almighty, the heavenly sanctuary—and into the earthly sanctuaries, built as copies of the heavenly original. In his quintessential “Song for the Sanctuary,” Psalm 27, David reveals how the sanctuary message is the encapsulation of what has been widely recognized as the “triple star of value” in human experience—beauty, truth, and goodness. Psalm 27 becomes the organizing guide for the journey of this book. This volume explores the “Bethel (House of God) of Beauty” in the typology of Leviticus and Hebrews; the “Palace of Praise” in the sanctuary worship of the Psalms; the “Temple of Truth” in the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation; the “Great House of Goodness” in the Christ-centered good news of salvation and judgment; and the “Cathedral of communion” as the ultimate meaning of the sanctuary. Experience God’s personal and perpetual presence in the sanctuary! Encounter God the Father and the Holy Spirit, and meet Jesus your Redeemer, Mediator, and King.
