The latest from the Adventist Review

The newly-designed Adventist Review came today. First, something from editor Bill Knott on what to expect from the new Review:

Fresh, unambiguous explorations of key Bible teachings on creation, the Sabbath, the sanctuary, and spiritual gifts to make the vital truths of Adventism accessible to readers of every age and background.

And from associate editor Roy Adams:

Biblical foundations are under attack—Creation, Sabbath, marriage, fidelity. The battle is joined; and the contestants—visible and invisible—have taken the field. It boils down to a battle between good and evil, with no room for indifference.

Too often we Adventists come across as lethargic, bereft of courage, hedging our bets, rolling with the tide, even scoring for the other side. In the intense controversy over "intelligent design," for example, the courageous voices seem to be coming from outside the church. Others are taking the heat and the scorn, while we generally play it safe. But the issues at stake are too large for silence. Neutrality is not an option.

So it looks like we can expect further unambiguity from the Adventist Review.

The good news is that unambiguity makes a lot of people very happy.
