by Fritz Guy, professor emeritus of theology, La Sierra University
This presentation was given on Sabbath, January 26, at the Mind & Spirit Conference hosted by the Loma Linda University Church, in cooperation with the LLU School of Religion. This conference convened to examine the legacy of Questions on Doctrine. In this article, Dr. Guy discusses QOD and the future of Adventism.
I want to talk about good news, bad news, and the possibilities of grace, and thus suggest what we can learn from the saga of Questions on Doctrine. As with individual persons, so with communities of faith: our weaknesses are often the mirror image, the “dark other side,” of our strengths. So it’s hardly surprising that the 50-year saga of Questions on Doctrine highlights both the strengths and weakness of Adventists and Adventism.
