Abstract

120 Since the creation of the first Adventist Universities early in the second half of the twentieth century, the Seventh-day Adventist church has engaged in scientific re- search in several secular and theological scholarly disciplines that involve the use of human reason and methodologies. Because, normally, researchers select and use methodologies based on the current consensus of their scholarly disciplines, we have to assume Adventist scholars do the same. Seldom do scientists take time to analyze, evaluate, and criticize the intellectual tools they use. This article deals with the necessity of implement a biblical epistemology for developing researches with an Adventist profile. Keywords: Epistemology, presuppositions, research, methodology. Desde la creación de las primeras universidades adventistas a inicios de la segunda mitad del siglo veinte, la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día ha participado en la investigación científica en varias disciplinas académicas seculares y teológicas que involucran el uso de metodología y razón humana. Debido a que normalmente, los investigadores seleccionan y usan metodologías basándose en el actual consenso de sus disciplinas académicas, y asumimos que eruditos adventistas hacen lo mis- mo. Rara vez los científicos se dan tiempo de analizar, evaluar y criticar las herra- mientas intelectuales que usan. Este estudio aborda la necesidad de implementar una epistemología bíblica para desarrollar investigaciones con perfil adventista.
