52 Life Changing Devotional Thoughts: Spiritual Food for the Journey Paperback
Trevor O'Reggio
Over the last twenty years that I have worked as a professor of Church History at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, Andrews University, I have given a short devotion to my students at the beginning of each class period to inspire and encourage them in their faith journey and to affirm them in their call to ministry. I have gathered up these precious devotional thoughts and put them in this small book, so there will be a permanent record of these spiritual reflections. Enclosed you will find short scriptural reflections, homilies, inspirational poems, bible readings and common-sense instructions. I hope it will provide a source of encouragement to you in your own faith journey. When you are finished with this little booklet, pass it on to someone else to encourage them in their journey. Share the love.

Voices from the Reformation
Trevor O'Reggio
I have bought together eight published and unpublished articles on the Protestant Reformation in this small book. These articles deal with a range of theological issues. Chapter one explores the life and teachings of Jan Hus, one of the most significant pre-reformer whose life and theology set the stage for the Protestant Reformation of the Sixteenth century. Chapter two describes the core theological issue-of Anabaptism-Discipleship. Chapter three compares the teachings of Anabaptism with those of the Seventh-day Adventists. Chapter 4 analyzes the Radicals’ reformers’ views on the Holy Spirit. Chapters five, six, and seven focuses on Martin Luther, considered the towering figure of the Reformation. In chapter five, I reexamine Luther’s views on death and dying. Chapter six explores his revolutionary views on marriage, sex, and the family. Chapter seven analyzes his enigmatic and paradoxical theology. Chapter eight concludes the book by surveying a representative view of the major Protestant reformers of the sixteenth century on what happens to the wicked at the final judgment and the nature of hell.

Quality Research Papers for Students of Religion and Theology, 4th ed.
Nancy Vyhmeister and Terry Dwain Robertson
This will be the fourth edition of a time-tested resource for students writing papers in the fields of religion and theology. It provides essential guidance for writing assignments typical in graduate programs in religion and has served as a standard textbook for seminary research courses. The fourth edition is updated to include information on Turabian 9th edition, SBL Handbook 2nd edition, new resource lists, and additional help with online resources and formatting issues.
Most importantly, this new edition is revised from the perspective of information abundance rather than information scarcity. Today's research mindset has shifted from "find anything" and "be satisfied with anything" to "choose intentionally" reliable and credible sources. Quality Research Papers will guide students through an overabundance of online and library resources and help them craft excellent essays.

Bonjour Brancusi
Gregory Constantine
“Bonjour Brancusi” is a 60-page graphic biography (164 frames) about the life and art of Constantin Brancusi, the Romanian peasant boy who, at age 19, walked 1200 miles to Paris in 1904 and according to scholars Sidney Geist, Eric Shanes and many others, developed into the most original and influential modern sculptor of the 20th century.
Brancusi visited in America, Europe, and Egypt. Brancusi’s story is divided into six chapters; 1. His walk to Paris, 2. The Kiss, 3. The Heads, 4. The Birds, 5. The Column, 6. Studio Visitors and Travels.
All 164 line drawings are enhanced with black and white watercolor. Each frame includes “text balloons” that reveal his dialog with friends and collectors discussing philosophical and technical aspects of his work. The drawings are rendered in the style of a graphic novel (or comic book) but the entire book is historically factual. -
La Naturaleza del ser Humano en los Orígenes: Génesis 1-11
Richard M. Davidson
"Este libro es una contribución importante y fundamental para la definición de lo que es el ser humano. La lectura de este escrito es relevante en el siglo XXI debido a la importancia de las relaciones humanas que abarcan casi todo el espectro de actividades en las que el ser humano participa. El estudio de la naturaleza humana hecha a partir de una cosmovisión bíblica responde a muchas interrogantes que el ser humano se ha hecho por siglos. Preguntarse ¿qué soy? o mas aún ¿quién soy? constituye una de las inquietudes mas antiguas a las que cada individuo se enfrenta en cierto momento de la vida. Para responder este enigma, Davidson hace una descripción de la naturaleza del ser humano en sus tres etapas o estados: antes de la caída, o lo que Davidson llama el “estado original de la humanidad”; después de la caída; y el “estado futuro de la humanidad”.Richard M. Davidson es un académico de Antiguo Testamento en Andrews University, Michigan. Davidson fue el presidente de la Sociedad Teológica Adventista desde 1996-1998. Está casado con la, también académica, JoAnn Davidson. Davidson es mejor conocido por su importante trabajo académico Flame of Yahweh: A Theology of Sexuality in the Old Testament. Nació en California, terminó su Maestría con Suma Cum Laude en Andrews University, y luego su Doctorado en Estudios Bíblicos, en la misma Universidad el año 1981."

Honorable in Business: Business Ethics from a Christian Perspective
Annetta Gibson and Daniel Augsburger
How can one be a Christian in the world of business, not just on the weekend? How can one be honorable in business? Through the integration of the Christian worldview and business ethics, this book provides Christians with a mental framework with which to answer these important questions.
Beginning with Genesis as the foundation for the Christian’s worldview and the Ten Commandments as the outline for the Christian’s ethical obligations, the authors develop principles upon which ethical choices can be made, even when working in a primarily non-Christian-oriented business environment. The book is designed to be helpful both to those beginning their career in business and those already employed in business who struggle with how to engage in today’s business environment while maintaining their commitment to God’s vision for life to be both meaningful and honorable.
Topics of business ethics such as employee rights, discrimination, technology and privacy, insider trading and accounting fraud, and the special challenges of working internationally are covered. The added value this book brings to these discussions lies in its serious consideration of the Christian worldview as foundational to ethical decision-making in everyday areas of business.

Trust and Doubt: Perceptions of Divine Inspiration in Seventh-day Adventist History
Denis Kaiser
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God ... " We believe these words, but what do they actually mean? Did God exercise a dominating influence over the inspired writers of Scripture, or did He provide them with assistance in communicating His inspired messages? In their struggle to arrive at a biblical understanding of God's influence in the inspiration process, Seventh-day Adventists have advocated a variety of views since their very beginning. During a period of grave tensions on the subject of divine inspiration in American Protestant Christianity (1830s-1920s), Adventists experienced in their midst a living prophetic claimant whose very presence pressed them to ponder about the Holy Spirit's modus operandi. This book traces the interplay of various theories of divine inspiration in the writings of eleven key thinkers in that period of Seventh-day Adventist history.

The Doctrine of God: Introducing the Big Questions
John C. Peckham
John C. Peckham introduces and engages with major questions about God's nature and how God relates to the world. Does God change? Does God have emotions? Can God do anything? Does God know the future? Does God always attain what God desires? And is God entirely good? This textbook provides a clear and concise overview of the issues involved in these and other questions, exploring prominent contemporary approaches to the main issues relative to how to conceive of the God-world relationship within Christian theology. In so doing, Peckham surveys a range of live options regarding each of the primary questions, briefly considering where each falls within the spectrum of the Christian tradition and providing clear and readily understandable explanations of the technical issues involved. The result is a stimulating survey of the most prominent options in Christian theology relative to divine attributes and the God-world relationship, offered in an accessible format for students. Designed for classroom use this volume includes the following features: Study questions for each chapter, suggestions for further reading for each chapter, glossary. --From publisher's description.
