Teaching Literature: A Seventh-day Adventist Approach
Delmer Davis
The primary mission of the Seventh-day Adventist teacher of literature may be that of inspiring students to explore for themselves how the reading of literature can enrich personal faith in God. With this book, Delmer Davis encourages further conversation regarding the integration of faith and the teaching of literature. By introducing the writings and ideas of notable Seventh-day Adventists and other Christians who have grappled with the interrelationship between literature and Christian belief, Dr. Davis offers literature teachers and students of literature the opportunity to examine the implications such integration has for their teaching, scholarship, and spiritual lives.

Teaching History: A Seventh-day Adventist Approach
Gary Land
Land examines the integration of historical knowledge into a Christian worldview and its implications for teaching, scholarship, and life.
He writes: "Our knowledge of God and history is limited. But that knowledge will grow as we study the past. The dialogue we carry on with the evidence is a two-way street, for our understanding of the ways of God will be informed by what we find in the historical record just as our Christian perspective will inform our understanding of history."

Rest for Modern Man
Samuele Bacchiocchi
Americans and Europeans more and more follow a five- or four-day workweek. The fact that modern man does not have to spend six full days earning his livelihood raises many social and theological problems. What is the significance of the Sabbath for him. Can he juggle his worship time according to his free-time program? is a twenty-four-hour Sabbath rest now anachronistic since man today spends at most only a few hours in worship? Dr, Samuele Bacchiocchi answers these and many other questions by investigating and defining the Biblical meaning of the Sabbath rest. He shows what it does for man and how it involves man's relationship with God. Bacchiocchi reveals ow the Bible views the Sabbath as a symbol of deliverance, consecration, communion, and peace - needs shared by all men everywhere.
