He had been editor-in-chief of the Seventh-day Adventist Church's official publication, Adventist Review, for a decade.

Sparks in the darkness: a surprising reading on suffering

"Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upwards" (Job 5:7).

Did Martin Luther really believe in Sola Scriptura?

“The woman with the book” | The weakness that unleashes the power of God
