Description
Summary:Jesus was both devine and human. But the nature of Christ's humanity is perhaps the most explosive and divisive issue in Seventh-day Adventism. Was His humanity like that of Adam before the Fall, or like that of a fallen human being?It is not just an intellectual question, as one's shape one's understanding of salvation and the daily life of the Christian before Christ's return. Both view-points appeal to the writings of ellen White to support their position. How do we interpret what she has to say on the subject? As he did in his Ellen White On Salvation, Woodrow whidden analyzes Ellen White's comments ftom a chronological perspective. He has gathered all the statements she made on the subject and examines how she expanded or focused her perspective to meet changing issues and needs in the developing Sevinth-day Adventist Church. Whidden asked those on both sides of the issue to send him every Ellen White statement the that they feel speaks to the subject, and he has collected them in an extensive appendix. Every Seventh-day Adventist studying this issue will want this book for the appendix alone. In addition to going carefully through what Ellen White said on the humanity of Christ and offering his conclusions and suggestions for further study, Whidden asked for comments from a number of leading spokespersons who have emphasized the fallen human nature of Christ. Kevin Paulson has written a response to Whidden's research. - Abbreviations.Preface.Section 1- The Mustery of Christ's Humanity and Human Sinfulness.Where Have We Been and How Shall We Proceed? .What Is Sin?Section 2- Developments Before 1888.The Humanity of Christ Before 1888: Part 1.The Humanity of Christ Before 1888: Part 2.Section 3- Developments After 1888.The Humanity of Christ and Salvation After 1888:.The Humanity of Christ and Salvation After 1888:.The Humanity of Christ and Salvation After 1888:.The Baker Letter.Section 4- Interpretations and Implications.Chuist's Humanity, Justification, and perfection.To "Historic Advintism": A Proposal for Dialogue and Reconciliation."The Lower and Higher Natures: The Key to Resolving the Adventist Christology Debate"By Kevin Paulson; Reply to Paulson.Section 5 The Primary Ellen White Documents .Appendix A - Ellen White on "Depravity and Sin".Appendix B - Ellen White on the Humanity of Christ.Appendix C - The Recently Discovered Kellogg Letter of 1903.Bibliography
